Glass Handling

PM Panelful ensures high precision and maximum safety in the handling of glass, plexiglass, panels, and other materials with delicate surfaces.


Next-Generation Ergonomics and Safety in Glass Handling

Handling glass, plexiglass, panels, and other flat materials is one of the most delicate processes in production lines.
Manual handling carries serious risks, including glass breakage, surface scratches, and operator injuries.

PM Industrial Manipulators, with its specially developed Panelful model, makes glass and panel handling safer and more ergonomic through advanced pneumatic vacuum technology.


What is PM Panelful?

PM Panelful Pneumatic Manipulator is a pneumatic handling system that uses vacuum technology to grip and move glass, plexiglass, and panel materials without causing damage.
Thanks to its high-precision vacuum pads, it lifts materials without scratching, bending, or breaking them.
Its pneumatically balanced system provides the operator with smooth and sensitive control.


Application Areas:

  • Flat glass, tempered glass, plexiglass, aluminum panels

  • White goods and furniture production lines

  • Glass coating and lamination facilities

  • Construction glass, window, and façade system manufacturing


Safe Handling Technology with Panelful

  • Load Capacity: Up to 100 kg

  • Gripping Type: Pneumatic vacuum system

  • Rotation Capability: 0°–90° directional change

  • Operating Principle: 100% pneumatic – requires no electricity

  • Mounting Options: Column, ceiling, or rail system

  • Safety: CE-certified, fully compliant with EN 14238 standards

The vacuum system’s special suction pads distribute pressure evenly across the surface, preventing glass breakage.
In case of sudden pressure loss, the safety valve is automatically activated to secure the load.


Advantages of PM Panelful

  • Safe handling without surface damage using vacuum technology

  • Easy positioning with 0°–90° directional adjustment

  • Pneumatic balancing system reduces operator fatigue

  • High safety for fragile materials such as glass, panels, and plexiglass

  • Up to 30–40% time savings in production lines

  • Safe system design compliant with CE and EN 14238 standards


Suitable PM Model Family

Panelful belongs to PM’s “Plug & Play” series, developed specifically for delicate surface applications.
This model features a dual-rope structure that delivers high performance with low energy consumption.
