Pneumatic 3-D Part Manipulators for Precise Material Handling
November 1, 2014
TDA Buddy manufactures and custom designs industrial pneumatic manipulators. "They help a single worker perform precise material handling placement. The 3-D part manipulators can grip a part up to 400 lbs., roll, pitch, or yaw it if necessary, hold it rigid and place it accurately for the next operation. The manipulators feature a neutral balance technology that allows the parts to float, making them feel weightless," said a company spokesperson.
According to the company, TDA Buddy pneumatic manipulators are available with various types of grippers to lift a variety of part configurations, including metal blanks with holes. End effectors (tooling) are offered with vacuum, mechanical or pneumatically actuated grippers. The manipulators feature a standard 10' reach radius, a vertical travel of 64", and rotation up to 360°. Mounting options include fixed floor, fixed overhead, overhead rail, press face mounted and a portable base plate for forklift repositioning.
