PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, hanging, positioning, rotating and safe transfer of parts in paint shop production lines.

In paint shop operations, handling is not only about lifting the part. Surface protection, hanging point, pre painting and post painting process safety, operator ergonomics, controlled positioning and production line continuity must all be evaluated together.

Ergonomic Handling in Paint Shop Lines

Manual handling, turning or hanging of parts in paint shop lines can create physical strain for operators. PM Manipulators help parts to be handled with less effort, better balance and higher control.

Hanging and Line Feeding Operations

In paint shop lines, parts must often be presented to hanging systems at the correct angle. PM Manipulators can be used for hanging, line feeding and process transfer operations with custom gripping systems developed according to part geometry.

Controlled Rotation and Positioning

Before or after painting, parts may need to be positioned at different angles. PM Manipulators can be developed with controlled rotation, horizontal and vertical positioning and precision handling solutions according to the process requirement.

Application Areas

PM Manipulators can be adapted to paint shop operations such as:

• part handling
• hanging operations
• line feeding
• pre painting part positioning
• post painting controlled transfer
• handling of sensitive surface parts
• controlled rotation
• operator assisted positioning
