Core offering

Metal Work Pneumática do Brasil manufactures and sells pneumatic and electro-pneumatic automation components for industrial automation, including pneumatic cylinders (ISO 15552, ISO 6432, compact and guided), solenoid and proportional valves, FRL air treatment units, electric actuators, grippers, tubing, fittings, and the proprietary MODFLEX modular distribution and V-Lock interface systems. The portfolio of more than 15,000 product references is targeted at industrial manufacturers, machine builders and assembly integrators in Brazil and Latin America, complemented by Industry 4.0 ready valve islands and engineering software tools.

Product overview

Metal Work Pneumatic Brazil is a global leader in pneumatic automation equipment with over 15,000 product references. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio centered around three core product categories: (1) Pneumatic Components including ISO 15552 cylinders, Series 70 valves, FRL units (SKILLAR, SYNTESI, NEW DEAL), quick-connect fittings, and tubing solutions; (2) Electric Actuators under the Elektro brand including electric cylinders (Mini DC, SSC, EK, BK, Round DC), cantilever axes (VBK), rotary actuators (RBA), linear guides (CS), and the SHAK belt-driven axis; (3) The EB 80 electro-pneumatic valve island system with multiple fieldbus protocols and I4.0 wireless capabilities. Supporting these, the V-Lock modular interface system enables integration across the portfolio. Software tools include Easy Sizer, Easy Robotics, Elektro 3.0, and EB 80 Configurator. The MODFLEX compressed air distribution system rounds out the offering for complete industrial automation solutions.
