Part Unloading in Transformer Core Production Lines
Safe, Ergonomic, and Efficient Handling of Steel Cores and Magnetic Sheets from Production Machines with Pneumatic Lifting Technology
Challenges in Transformer Production Lines
In transformer manufacturing, core (nucleus) and magnetic steel sheet blocks that exit from presses, cutting, or winding machines are often too heavy and sharp-edged to be handled manually.
Manual lifting and stacking of these parts pose serious risks both to operator safety and to the surface quality of the product.
PM Industrial Manipulators provide specialized pneumatic handling solutions for safely picking, rotating, and stacking these heavy and sensitive components directly from production machines.
Safe Unloading with Pneumatic Manipulators
PM Manipulators operate with a 100% pneumatic system, providing high lifting performance without any need for electrical power.
Using the manipulator’s ergonomic control arm, the operator can easily pick the core block from the machine table, rotate it between vertical and horizontal positions, and safely place it onto a pallet.
This system significantly increases efficiency during the unloading and feeding stages of transformer production lines.
