Pneumatic manipulator

clamphandlingwith tilter

Overview This page presents a pneumatic manipulator solution designed for the safe, precise and ergonomic handling of heavy steel rings. The system is demonstrated on a 138 kg ring and enables operators to handle, orient and position the part while maintaining full control and workplace safety.

Clamp Gripper for Steel Rings: Safety and Reliability The clamp gripper uses a dedicated clamping system to ensure a secure hold on rings, flanges and circular components. Key operator benefits include:

• Quick and repeatable ring capture;
• Handling without direct physical effort;
• Full control during transfers;
• High-precision positioning;
• Reduced risk of damage to parts and surrounding equipment.

The design suits applications in steel, metallurgical and general manufacturing environments.

Front Tilting up to 90° for Greater Operational Flexibility The manipulator provides a controlled front-tilt function up to 90°, enabling orientation from horizontal to vertical to support assembly, inspection or machining operations. Benefits include:

• Improved accessibility to the workpiece;
• Shorter handling cycles;
• Enhanced operator ergonomics;
• Higher process productivity;
• Better positioning repeatability.

The tilting motion is driven and controlled to preserve load stability throughout the movement.

Pneumatic Manipulator for 138 kg Loads The pneumatic manipulator with clamp gripper assists handling of a 138 kg steel ring, improving safety and throughput. Main advantages:

• Reduced physical effort: operators are relieved from supporting the load weight;
• Improved safety: positive clamping and assisted control lower handling risks;
• Enhanced precision: accurate placement even with tight tolerances;
• Increased productivity: faster, smoother handling operations.

Applications Typical uses include handling of:

• Steel rings;
• Turned components;
• Circular metal parts and flanges;
• Semi-finished products in the steel industry;
• Components for mechanical and manufacturing sectors.

Customized Solutions for Industrial Material Handling Each manipulator can be configured to match product geometry, load weight and specific operational requirements. Options include tailored gripper jaws, stroke and control settings to integrate with existing production cells.
