Machine Tending

• pneumagiQ in machine tending: bringing consistency to pneumatic EOAT integration

• Machine tending typically relies on proven, off-the-shelf pneumatic grippers from many different manufacturers.

• What varies is how those tools are integrated on the robot. Air supply, sensing, valve layouts, and mounting details are often handled differently from one setup to the next, even when the application looks the same.

• This video shows a machine tending application with random picking using pneumagiQ PQ90 and PQ180, together with tool changers from TripleA robotics and pneumatic grippers from SCHUNK - Hand in hand for tomorrow and Zimmer Group, highlighting a consistent, brand-agnostic approach to pneumatic EOAT integration.

• pneumagiQ is built as an interface layer between the robot and pneumatic tooling. It standardizes how air supply, sensing, and tool connections are handled. The gripper remains a choice. The interface is standardized. For machine tending, this means cleaner installations, fewer integration variables, and setups that are easier to repeat across projects.
