Pneumatic manipulator

with gripping toolfor ceramic productscustom-made

Product overview
ATIS industrial manipulators assist operators in gripping, lifting, handling and releasing tiles and ceramic grids. Customized gripping systems are developed according to product geometry and fragility to ensure safe, controlled handling throughout all production phases. The combination of ergonomics, precision and load control improves production performance and factory safety.

Challenges in handling tiles and ceramic grids
Tile and ceramic component manufacturers face multiple handling issues that the manipulator addresses:

• handling delicate loads
• risk of product damage
• repetitive operations
• need for high positioning precision
• operator fatigue
• maintaining production continuity

Safe gripping
The gripping phase is critical in the production cycle. Dedicated ATIS gripping systems provide:

• quick engagement of material
• high load stability
• reduced oscillations
• consistent operational reliability

Balanced handling and load control
Once lifted, the manipulator maintains load balance so operators can:

• facilitate handling
• improve operational precision
• reduce physical effort
• increase process safety

Constant center-of-gravity control enables smooth and precise handling even during intensive cycles.

Controlled release and precise positioning
The pneumatic manipulator ensures controlled release and accurate placement, delivering benefits such as:

• greater safety — reduced risks of manual load handling
• improved ergonomics — lower operator fatigue in repetitive tasks
• increased productivity — shorter handling times and higher efficiency
• product protection — controlled movements that limit tile damage
• operational precision — load control from gripping through final release

Typical applications
ATIS manipulators are used across the ceramic industry for activities including:

• handling of tile grids
• handling of packaged tiles
• loading and unloading production lines
• palletizing and depalletizing
• transfer between workstations
• handling of ceramic components
• end-of-line production operations

ATIS approach and customization
ATIS develops customized manipulators to match production requirements. Key customization parameters include:

• load weight
• product dimensions and geometry
• frequency of use
• available space
• ergonomic and production constraints
