PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, controlled rotation, assembly line loading and safe positioning of tires, rims and wheel groups within production processes.

In tire and rim operations, product form, center of gravity, gripping method, assembly angle, rotation requirement and operator safety must all be evaluated together.

Ergonomic Tire and Rim Handling

Manual handling of tires and rims can create physical strain for operators. PM Manipulators help these products to be moved with less effort and better control.

Controlled Rotation and Assembly Positioning

In tire and rim operations, products must often be presented to the assembly point at the correct angle. PM Manipulators can be developed with 90 degree and 180 degree controlled rotation systems according to operational requirements.

Gripper and Custom Holding Systems

Internal gripping, external gripping, mechanical grippers or custom end effectors can be developed according to tire and rim geometry. This structure allows the product to be handled without damaging its surface.

Application Areas

PM Manipulators can be adapted to tire and rim operations such as:

• rim handling
• tire handling
• wheel group handling
• assembly line loading
• controlled rotation
• 90 degree and 180 degree positioning
• production line transfer
• custom gripper handling
