Abstract : Many of the production and manufacturing firms adopt workspace automation for fast and economic production. Automation can be accomplished through hydraulics, pneumatics and robotics. This paper present the design and manufacturing of a portable pneumatic material handling system that can rise and move weight up to 3 kg. Such a machine can be used as a transport or positioning equipment in small scale production units. The design procedure includes the design of pneumatic cylinders, gears and arms. Then different components were manufactured according to the designed data and finally the assembled pneumatic framework is tried with the required weight.
