Variant selling for pneumatics

Configure variants.
Deliver order codes.

Valve stations, bore size, stroke, connection layout and sensors are selected on the 3D model—the customer sees the product, your inside sales team receives an unambiguous configuration instead of a guessed catalogue number.

From catalogue order code to a clear order

Show the variants.
Prevent wrong orders.

Pneumatics sells through order codes—and that is exactly where enquiries break down. The configurator guides designers and buyers through the options your range actually supports.

  1. 01

    Build the product on the model

    Design, size, station count, stroke, mounting and sensors are selected directly on the 3D model.

  2. 02

    Rules block impossible combinations

    Dependencies between valve function, port layout, electrics and mounting exclude variants you cannot ship.

  3. 03

    Hand the configuration to inside sales

    The enquiry contains a view, the selected options and every position as a structured list.

SALES-READY RESULT

An enquiry inside sales can process directly.

The customer sees their module; your team receives a complete, internally consistent variant instead of a clarification loop.

  • ✓All selected options in plain text
  • ✓Position list as a basis for quotation and order

Recent confBuild projects

From a single cylinder
to a complete station.

Three confBuild reference configurators show the range: ISO 15552 cylinders, a valve manifold with 2 to 12 stations, and a complete handling station with pricing and parts list.

Live configurators

Three applications.
Configurable in the browser.

Handling, clamping and conveying—each example is a real configurator with sizing calculations, a guide price and an enquiry flow. Open it, change the parameters, see the result instantly.

Discuss a pilot like this ↗
01

Vacuum handling crossbeam

Suction cup grid, cup design and vacuum generation are freely selectable. Holding force, safety factor and pick-up time are calculated from the configuration.

  • Cup grid 1–8 × 1–6, free pitch
  • Flat, bellows and multi-bellows cups, 20–80 mm
  • Holding force, safety factor, air consumption
Configure live →
02

Pneumatic clamping fixture

Grid base plate, clamping stations and control variant as one system. Clamping force per station and air consumption per cycle update live.

  • 1–8 clamping stations on a 40/50/63 mm grid
  • Round or guided cylinders, 25–50 mm bore
  • Sequence and two-hand control
Configure live →
03

Singulator and diverter

Conveyor section with a stop cylinder and diverting unit. The cycle runs as an animation, including airflow visualisation.

  • Track width 300–500 mm, length up to 4 m
  • Round or guided stop cylinder, 20–32 mm bore
  • Swivel gate or cross pusher

Product system instead of catalogue table

One module.
Every component connected.

Base plate, valve slices, electrical interface, tubing and mounting all respond together as soon as station count, size or port layout changes.

LOGIC
01

Base body

Size, stroke and design determine geometry, mounting pattern and installation space.

02

Function & ports

Valve function, working ports and the electrical variant stay consistent as one dependent system.

03

Sensors & mounting

Cylinder switches, flow control valves and mounting styles are offered only where they fit.

04

Structured output

The configuration delivers options, components and a structured enquiry.

Powered by the confBuild CAD kernel

Not a render mock-up.
Real parametric geometry.

The confBuild CAD kernel rebuilds the module from product parameters and option rules. Change the station count and base plate, tubing, electrical interface and mounting grow with it as one coherent system—not as a swapped catalogue image.

KERNELPARAMETRIC ENGINE
OUTPUT3D modelAssembliesBOM & data
01

Deterministic

The same parameters reliably produce the same geometry—reproducible instead of merely similar.

02

Assembly-aware

Parts and accessories remain connected through clear dependencies and product rules.

03

Useful downstream

Structured parameters and component data can feed enquiries, BOMs and subsequent workflows.

04

Browser-native

Interactive in the web browser—without local CAD installation and directly in your sales experience.

More than a beautiful 3D view

A tool for
sales and customers.

The configurator turns an order code into a product you can see—and turns catalogue knowledge into a selling advantage over PDF tables.

Strengthen technical credibility

A configurator demonstrates technical competence where customers search today.

Focused remote pilot

One product family.
Clear scope.

  1. 01

    Select a product range

    We capture options, dependencies and order-code logic for one high-demand range.

  2. 02

    Configure the pilot

    We build the 3D model, option logic and enquiry flow as a focused prototype.

  3. 03

    Test with customers

    The pilot runs in your brand and is refined with inside sales and application engineering.
