PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, loading, unloading and controlled positioning of heavy, hot, rough or complex shaped casting parts within production lines.

Casting parts require special handling solutions due to their weight, surface structure, temperature, geometry and gripping safety requirements.

Ergonomic Handling of Heavy Casting Parts

Manual handling of casting parts can create high safety risks for operators. PM Manipulators help heavy parts to be moved in a more controlled and safer way.

Custom Gripper and Durable Holding Systems

Casting parts often require project specific gripper systems due to their rough or complex geometry. PM’s engineering team can develop custom end effectors according to part form, center of gravity and surface structure.

Controlled Rotation and Production Line Transfer

Casting parts may need to be transferred to machining, inspection, assembly or dispatch points in the correct position. PM Manipulators support this process with controlled rotation and precision positioning solutions.

Application Areas

PM Manipulators can be adapted to casting operations such as:

• casting part handling
• heavy part loading
• machining line feeding
• controlled rotation
• quality control line transfer
• custom gripper handling
• rough surface part handling
• assembly line transfer
