Hydraulic Manipulators Help Eliminate Strain Injuries



TDA Buddy hydraulically powered manipulators are designed to allow a worker to hold and maneuver parts weighing up to 1,000 lbs. in three-dimensions and help perform precise material handling placement with virtually no strain injuries. These manipulators are best suited for heavy-duty industrial material handling applications. The throttle style control feature facilitates variable speed motion control to help ensure precise handling.

TDA Buddy's energy-efficient hydraulic manipulators are powered by on-demand hydraulic pump systems that conserve energy and pump life. Depending on the specific part handling requirements, TDA Buddy can custom build hydraulic manipulators with hydraulic cylinder grippers and special fixtures, turning a two-or three-person material handling job into a one-person job.

TDA Buddy pneumatic manipulators have maximum 10' reach radius, a vertical travel of 64" and rotation up to 360°. End effectors (tooling) are offered with vacuum, mechanical or pneumatically actuated grippers.
