The manipulator enables easy, safe and efficient manipulation of sheet metal and significantly reduces the physical strain on employees, enables greater safety at work and increases productivity.
How the manipulator works?
The basis of the system is a trolley that moves on rails along the supporting structure. After leaving the previous process, the sheet metal is roughly positioned under the manipulator via cross conveyors. Once in place, the trolley securely lifts the sheet using vacuum suction cups, transfers it to the designated location, and aligns it precisely.
The process is fast and efficient, as the manipulator is designed to minimize errors and eliminate the need for manual handling of heavy loads. It can be used to transfer sheets between different process operations, and in this case, to stack and align sheets vertically for final packaging.
The manipulator is engineered to handle both raw and shotblasted or painted sheets, as well as sheets of varying sizes and thicknesses.
Technical design
The manipulator consists of two main units:
Together, these components allow quick, precise, and ergonomic handling, even with larger and heavy sheet metal.
Key benefits for user
Using a manipulator significantly reduces the need for manual work, which means less physical strain on employees and greater safety at work. In addition, the solution increases productivity by enabling faster and more precise sheet metal movements. In the long run, this means more efficient production organization and higher quality of the final product.
