PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, loading, unloading and controlled positioning of rubber blocks, rubber compounds, molded parts, press products and production line components in the rubber industry.

Rubber products may create different handling requirements due to their form, surface structure, elasticity, weight distribution and gripping method. For this reason, custom grippers and end effectors are especially important in rubber applications.

Ergonomic Handling of Rubber Parts

Rubber blocks and molded parts can be difficult for operators to handle manually. PM Manipulators help these products to be moved in a safer, more balanced and more ergonomic way.

Custom Gripper and Holding Solutions

Standard gripping methods may not always be sufficient due to the flexible or sensitive surface structure of rubber products. PM’s engineering team can develop mechanical grippers, custom holding tools or surface suitable end effectors according to product form.

Production Line and Press Feeding Operations

PM Manipulators can be adapted to rubber production operations such as:

• rubber block handling
• molded rubber part handling
• press feeding
• press unloading
• production line transfer
• controlled rotation
• custom gripper handling
• loading and unloading operations
