Specify the load and tool before the air supply
A pneumatic manipulator proposal must define the workpiece, end effector, reach, mounting and controls. The available compressed-air supply is an integration input, not proof that any pneumatic arm can handle the task.
What distinguishes the proposed configuration
Item | Buyer check |
|---|---|
Arm arrangement | Rigid-arm or other documented structure, working envelope and mounting. |
End tool | Grip position, contact restrictions, tool weight and centre-of-gravity offset. |
Motion | Lift, reach, rotation and final placement needed for the workpiece. |
Supply | Pressure/flow and supply conditions specified for the selected assembly. |
Controls and retention | Documented operating and supply-loss behaviour for that configuration. |
Compare a representative cycle
Provide minimum and maximum workpieces, the full movement path and the most constrained placement. Check operator access and visibility with the actual proposed tool. Quote a performance requirement as an acceptance item when the model documents do not state it.

Further questions for your purchasing review
Which customization choices affect the manipulator price?
Custom grippers, arm reach, mounting, turning functions, controls and application testing are major cost factors.
Compare the published arm envelopes
Model / configuration | Rated load | Jib length | Drive type |
|---|---|---|---|
100 kg | 2.5 m | Pneumatic | |
200 kg | 2.5 m | Pneumatic | |
300 kg | 2.5 m | Pneumatic |
Include the end tool, workpiece offset and fixture approach when checking the envelope. A stated radius does not remove a minimum-radius restriction or provide access through an obstruction.
Define the intended placement
Placement task | Requirement to describe |
|---|---|
Load a fixture | Entry direction, clearance, orientation and final support. |
Turn a reel | Core/outer grip, turn angle and final shaft or cradle position. |
Move a drum | Grip location, lid/rim condition and whether pouring is required. |
Handle mixed parts | Part range, tool changes and approved grip for each variant. |
