Forceful: A Powerful, Durable, Fast, Efficient, and Flexible Solution for Industrial Handling

The Forceful Pneumatic Manipulator not only offers ergonomic operation but also ensures the safe and precise handling of heavy loads, enhancing flexibility and operational efficiency in production processes. Its rigid arm structure and pneumatic balancing system enable precise load handling, allowing operators to work with greater control. The rigid arm structure ensures stable and secure gripping, even for off-center and offset loads. The pneumatic balancing system allows operators to move loads with minimal effort, maximizing efficiency in the workspace.

Versatile Gripping Solutions

The Forceful model can be equipped with vacuum, gripper, and magnetic end effectors to meet different operational needs:

• Vacuum Systems: Ideal for smooth and delicate surfaces.
• Gripper End Effectors: Used for applications requiring mechanical gripping.
• Magnetic Grippers: Preferred for handling metal sheets, cylindrical parts, and heavy metal components.

Additionally, the manipulator allows movement along various axes, including 90°, 180°, and 360°, providing flexibility in complex material handling operations. This movement capability is enabled by pneumatically controlled actuators and motors. The system automatically adjusts the balance based on the load’s center of gravity, ensuring safe and efficient handling. This flexibility allows it to adapt to customized projects across different industries.

General Features

• Capacity: Up to 450 kg load handling capacity
• Maximum Reach: 4,000 mm
• Vertical Lift Range: 2,450 mm
• Operating Principle: Uses dry, filtered (40 μm), and oil-free compressed air (min. 0.7/0.8 MPa)
• Air Consumption: Maximum 140 nl/min

Mounting Options

The Forceful Manipulator is available in various mounting configurations to suit different industrial needs:

• Forceful Column-Mounted (FY) – Fixed to the floor via a stable column, providing a wide working area.
