PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic lifting, controlled positioning, precision guidance and safe transfer of carton boxes, packages and lightweight but high volume products within production and packaging lines.

In packaging operations, the process is not limited to lifting. Controlled positioning, safe transfer, high cycle handling, operator ergonomics, precision movement and production line continuity must all be evaluated together.

Ergonomic Box and Carton Handling

Repeated lifting of carton boxes and lightweight but high volume products can create physical strain for operators. PM Manipulators allow these loads to be handled in a more controlled way through pneumatic balancing technology.

Vacuum and Gripper Systems

PM Manipulators can be developed with vacuum handling systems, mechanical gripper systems and custom box gripping solutions according to operational requirements. This helps different box and carton types to be handled more safely.

Pallet Loading and Packaging Transfer

PM Manipulators can be adapted to box and carton handling operations such as:

• carton handling
• box handling
• packaging line transfer
• pallet loading
• depalletizing
• vacuum handling
• gripper handling
• horizontal and vertical positioning
• 90 degree and 180 degree controlled rotation
