Key Benefits

 

Ergonomic Load Support: Relieves operator physical strain, supporting full workpiece weight during transfer and alignment.
Controlled Working Envelope: Confines repetitive movements to a safe, defined handling area around equipment.
Custom Gripping Solutions: End effectors engineered specifically for workpiece geometry, delicate surfaces, and lifting orientations.
Versatile Mounting Layouts: Seamlessly adapts to floor-mounted columns, wall-mounted brackets, or overhead suspended tracks.
High Repeatability: Delivers reliable handling paths for fixed production routines.
 

Typical Applications

 

CNC Machine Tending: Transferring raw billets and machined parts between pallets and turning/milling centers.
Press & Stamping Tooling: Moving heavy sheet metal parts and dies into and out of press machinery.
Metal Component Handling: Handling castings, forgings, fabricated weldments, and heavy steel structures.
Assembly & Test Line Positioning: Fitting engine blocks, gearboxes, or heavy machinery parts onto assembly stands.
Palletizing & Worktable Transfer: Streamlining material flow across worktables, conveyors, and storage racks.

 

Available End-Effector Types

 

Pneumatic / Mechanical Clamps: For shafts, rings, and machined blocks.
Vacuum Suction Grippers: For flat plates, sheet metal, and smooth panels.
Hook & C-Hook Attachments: For ring-shaped or eyelet-equipped components.
Fork & Bottom-Support Fixtures: For bulky castings or boxed items.
Multi-Part Quick-Change Jaws: For lines running varying workpiece profiles.

 

Integrated Loading & Unloading Workflows

 

CNC Machine Loading: Pallet / Conveyor -> Manipulator Lift & Transfer -> Machine Fixture / Chuck
CNC Machine Unloading: Machine Fixture -> Manipulator Removal -> Inspection Station / Finished Pallet
Cell-to-Cell Transfer: Station A (Machining) -> Manipulator Swing -> Station B (Deburring/Assembly)
 

Installation & Site Layout Requirements

 

Prior to system configuration, our engineering team reviews site dimensions to ensure smooth integration around current machine layouts:
Vertical Clearance: Pick-up height, release height, and overhead obstacle clearances.
Horizontal Reach: Radius from central mounting column to farthest pick/place point.
Interference Zones: Door swing trajectories, fixture access angles, and safety guards.
Foundation Stability: Concrete floor thickness, wall load rating, or ceiling beam structural capacity.

 

Safety Systems & Load Controls

 

Load Retention & Anti-Drop Safety: Safety check valves prevent workpiece release in the event of air pressure loss.
Pneumatic Pressure Monitoring: Interlocks ensure lifting cannot initiate if clamping pressure is insufficient.
Travel Limits: Adjustable mechanical stops restrict rotation and vertical stroke within safe zones.
Dual-Hand Operating Controls: Prevents accidental release during transfer.

 

Technical Information Required for Quotation

 

To request an engineering assessment and proposal, please provide:
Workpiece Parameters: Weight, dimensions, center of gravity, and surface material.
Handling Path: Pick-up height, release height, required radius, and rotation angle.
Workstation Conditions: Machine model/layout, available floor/ceiling space, and air/power supply specs.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the maximum load capacity available for this manipulator?

A: Configurations cover load capacities from 125 kg to 1,000 kg. Structural sizing accounts for workpiece weight, end-effector tare weight, and working radius.

Q: What maximum arm reach can be achieved?

A: Standard configurations offer horizontal arm reaches from 1,500 mm to 6,000 mm based on workstation layout and structural mounting.

Q: Can this manipulator be retrofitted to an existing CNC machine?

A: Yes. Arm lengths, mounting positions, vertical strokes, and end effectors are engineered specifically to clear existing machine doors, fixtures, and safety guards.

Q: Are end effectors custom-designed for specific parts?

A: Yes. We supply tailored pneumatic clamps, vacuum cups, hooks, forks, and adjustable jaws designed around your workpiece geometry.

Q: What installation mounting options are available?

A: Systems can be installed as floor-mounted pillar units, wall-bracket mounted systems, or overhead rail-suspended configurations to save floor space.

Q: What information is required to get a formal quotation?

A: Please provide workpiece weight, dimensions, drawings/photos, pick-and-place coordinates, required reach, and a basic workstation layout sketch.
