The Little Buddy is an excellent option in our custom industrial manipulators when a compact option is needed. Rather than use a large piece of equipment for smaller jobs, the Little Buddy provides versatility and ease of use. Because TDA Buddy always works to provide the best solution for every problem our customers face, we provide the Little Buddy as a great alternative to workplaces that have limited floor space but still need a quality piece of equipment for manipulation of components. And, like all our industrial manipulators, the Little Buddy also offers custom options for every customer. This helps every operation that could use the Little Buddy fit it seamlessly into their workflow to improve productivity.
