PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, positioning, rotation and controlled transfer of panel shaped products into assembly lines.

In panel handling applications, surface sensitivity, product size, center of gravity, gripping method and assembly position must all be evaluated together.

Ergonomic Panel Handling

Manual handling of large surface panels can be difficult for operators. PM Manipulators help panels to be moved in a more balanced and controlled way.

Vacuum Panel Handling

Vacuum handling systems can be preferred for flat and suitable panel surfaces. This structure allows the panel to be lifted and positioned in a controlled way without damaging its surface.

Controlled Rotation and Assembly Positioning

Panels may need to be presented to production or assembly lines at the correct angle. PM Manipulators can be developed with 90 degree and 180 degree controlled rotation systems according to operational requirements.

Application Areas

PM Manipulators can be adapted to panel applications such as:

• panel handling
• panel positioning
• vacuum handling
• assembly line feeding
• controlled rotation
• horizontal and vertical positioning
• sensitive surface panel handling
• production line transfer
