Overview
In manufacturing and logistics environments, handling metal baskets is a frequent operation that requires precision, speed and safety. Basket weight, dimensions and handling frequency can generate ergonomic and operational challenges. Repeated lifting, transfer and positioning increase operator effort, reduce productivity and raise the risk of damage to components and products.

Solution: double-rope pneumatic manipulator with pantograph gripper
A double-rope pneumatic manipulator equipped with a pantograph gripper has been developed to address metal-basket handling needs. The solution supports all phases of the handling cycle:

• Basket gripping
• Load lifting
• Transfer within the work area
• Precise positioning
• Controlled release

The dedicated gripper ensures a stable, reliable hold during the entire operation.

Sensitive control handle
The integrated sensitive control handle provides immediate, proportional response to operator input, making handling intuitive and natural. The handle enables operators to:

• Guide loads with precision
• Perform smooth, controlled movements
• Improve positioning accuracy
• Reduce physical effort

Operators maintain full control of the load from pick-up to release.

Controlled release and precise positioning
Accurate deposit of metal baskets is critical when placing them on workstations, assembly lines, racks or storage areas. The gripper design enables controlled release, delivering:

• High positioning accuracy
• Reduced risk of accidental impacts
• Improved operational safety
• Protection of handled materials

Benefits of assisted material handling

• Improved ergonomics - The manipulator compensates the load weight, reducing operator fatigue.
• Enhanced safety - Secure gripping and controlled release minimize manual-handling risks.
• Increased productivity - Fast, repeatable and precise movements reduce cycle times.
• Improved process quality - Constant load control lowers the chance of product damage.
• Application flexibility - Configurable to basket characteristics, load dimensions and production requirements.

Applications
Pneumatic double-rope manipulators with pantograph grippers are suitable for:

• Automotive production
• Metalworking and mechanical engineering
• Industrial component manufacturing
• Logistics and intralogistics
• Assembly departments
• End-of-line operations
• Semi-finished product handling
• Machine loading and unloading

A solution designed around your production process
Each installation is tailored to site requirements (weight, dimensions, handling frequency, production layout). The combination of a double-rope pneumatic manipulator, a dedicated pantograph gripper and a sensitive control handle provides an adaptable solution that improves operator ergonomics and overall process performance.
