Pneumatic Robot End Effectors
Pneumatic End Effectors and Robotic End Effectors
Pneumatic end effectors, or end of arm tooling (EOAT), are common mechanical devices when it comes to automating manufacturing processes. When paired with robotic arms, they’re ideal for a variety of robotic automation applications where speed and accuracy are important such as pick-and-place, machine tending, or parts assembly. Typically they work with a piston to open and close end of arm components. Compressed air within the chamber of the piston ensures that the piston is able to open and close.
Pneumatic robot grippers are ideal for applications that require picking and placing the same or very similar items consistently, and particularly a great option if these items do not require force control in order to be safely picked.
Take a look at some of our featured pneumatic grippers and contact a Cross team member to get the full lineup of pneumatic end effectors we offer.
End of Arm Equipment for Speed and Accuracy
There are many reasons why an operation would choose to use pneumatic robotic end effectors. If you’re looking for automation equipment that takes into account both speed and accuracy, then pneumatic end effectors may be the answer for your operation. But there are other reasons to choose pneumatic-powered robot end effectors.
Some of these reasons include simple design, ease of use, operational reliability, durability, and versatility.
In an increasingly competitive manufacturing environment, operations need to leverage tools for industrial automation. Whether that’s automating manual processes or creating entirely new automation systems for monitoring and analytics, automation is something that can’t be ignored.

Benefits of Cross Pneumatic End Effectors
There are many benefits to choosing pneumatic end effectors for robotic arms or other automation components. For instance
Reliable Operation
In many cases, pneumatic end effectors for robots can require far lower maintenance. This saves operations both time and money in the long run.
Safety Concerns
Pneumatic equipment is ideal for operations that have to take explosion risks into consideration. With pneumatic equipment, that risk is mitigated.
Ease of Use
Pneumatic robot end effectors are easy to operate and are frequently controlled using simple logic signals. This means easier operations and less training.
Custom Pneumatic End Effector Design
At Cross Automation, we understand that oftentimes automation equipment isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. The production processes of an automotive OEM aren’t the same as those of a commercial flooring manufacturing operation. That’s something that has to be taken into consideration. That’s why we offer custom pneumatic EOAT design and fabrication. That way, our customers can get the exact pneumatic component they need.
Our custom pneumatic robot end effectors can be fully customized and can be displayed to customers with solid models and dimensional drawings for their approval. That way you can see exactly how a custom-designed pneumatic end effector would work in your existing process. This includes gripper, adapter plate for the robot, custom gripper fingers for the application, and any other necessary components.
At Cross Company, we design solid, turnkey pneumatic end effector automation solutions for our customers. And we can work with you to design a turnkey solution for your production process, too.
