PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, lifting, unloading, controlled positioning and safe transfer of boxes, cartons, packages, bags, drums, bobbins, reels and different packaging products within production and packaging lines.

In packaging operations, handling is not only about lifting a load. Operator ergonomics, high cycle speed, product protection, controlled positioning, safe transfer, pallet loading, packaging line feeding and production continuity must all be considered together.

Ergonomic Handling in Packaging Lines

In packaging production lines, repetitive handling of boxes, cartons, packages, bags, bobbins and reels can create physical strain for operators. PM Manipulators help these loads to be moved with less effort, better control and higher safety through pneumatic balancing technology.

Controlled Rotation and Positioning

In the packaging industry, lifting the product is not enough. Boxes, cartons, packages, bobbins, reels and bags often need to be presented to the production line at the correct angle and position. PM Manipulators can be developed with 90 degree and 180 degree controlled rotation systems according to operational requirements.

Vacuum and Gripper Handling Systems

Vacuum handling systems can be preferred for carton boxes, packages and products with suitable surfaces, while mechanical gripper systems or custom end effectors can be developed for bags, reels, drums or special shaped packaging products.

Packaging Line Transfer and Pallet Loading

PM Manipulators can be adapted to different operations in packaging and production lines:

• box and carton handling
• packaging line transfer
• pallet loading
• depalletizing
• bobbin and reel handling
• bag handling
• drum handling
• controlled rotation
• horizontal and vertical positioning

These systems help products move through the production line in a safer, more balanced and more controlled way. This supports production continuity while reducing operator strain.
