Gear and Die Handling

Maximum Control and Safety with Pneumatic Technology for Machining, Mold Assembly, and Processed Part Reorientation

The New Standard in Machining Line Handling and Assembly

In machining lines, components such as gears, shafts, mold bodies, male–female mold sets, and fixture blocks are heavy and have delicate surfaces that require precision handling.
Manual lifting of these parts poses significant risks to both operator safety and surface quality.

PM Industrial Manipulators provide specialized pneumatic handling solutions designed for the lifting, turning, and positioning of these complex and heavy components.


Pneumatic Power, Precision Control

PM manipulators operate on a fully pneumatic system, offering high energy efficiency without requiring electricity.
Using an ergonomic control arm, the operator can easily move heavy parts single-handedly with complete balance and control.

The system is ideal for the safe reorientation and assembly of:

  • Gear wheels and shafted components

  • Mold bodies and fixture bases

  • Male/female mold sets and tooling fixtures

  • Machined metal blocks


Effortless Reorientation and Assembly

Thanks to its 0°–90°–180° rotation feature, PM manipulators allow operators to effortlessly rotate parts from vertical to horizontal or vice versa.
This function enables a single operator to mount and align molds or gear components safely and efficiently.

Depending on the application, the manipulator can be equipped with:

  • Pneumatic grippers

  • Magnetic lifters

  • or Mechanical hook systems


Technical Specifications

  • Lifting Capacity: 50 kg – 1200 kg (depending on model)

  • Rotation Angle: 90° / 180° reorientation

  • Operation Principle: 100% pneumatic – no electricity required

  • Energy Efficiency: Low air consumption, high performance

  • Safety: CE certified, compliant with EN 14238 and ISO 12100 standards

  • Mounting Options: Column, ceiling, or rail system integration


Suitable PM Models

  • PM Gentle / Helpful: For delicate gears and mold parts up to 180 kg

  • PM Forceful: For medium-weight metal blocks and mold bases up to 450 kg

  • PM Powerful / Hercules: For heavy molds and bodies ranging from 750 to 1200 kg


Key Advantages

  • Precision handling without damaging gear or mold surfaces

  • Easy positioning and assembly with 0°–90°–180° rotation

  • Ergonomic control system minimizing operator effort

  • Safe gripping with pneumatic or magnetic tools

  • CE and EN 14238 compliant design ensuring workplace safety

  • Up to 40% reduction in assembly time


Efficiency, Ergonomics, and Safety Combined

PM Industrial Manipulators bring together efficiency, ergonomics, and safety in machining and mold assembly processes.
This integration increases operator safety, enhances workflow, and accelerates production cycles.
