Metal workpieces weighing hundreds of kilograms take two workers a long time to lift and align onto a machine. The workpieces are also slick with oil, so hand grips slip easily, and repeating this many times a shift wears down the back and shoulders.

FullSharp introduces a 120 kg pneumatic manipulator on a mobile base. The metal workpiece clamp head holds the part firmly while the arm carries the full weight, leaving the operator to simply guide and turn the workpiece into position.

120kg Mobile-Base Manipulator with Metal Workpiece Clamp

Pneumatic manipulator on a mobile base with a metal workpiece clamp head at a machining shop.

Equipment installed

  • 120 kg manipulator: the pneumatic arm carries the workpiece weight, so the operator only needs to guide it by hand.
  • Metal workpiece clamp head: pneumatic jaws grip the part firmly, even when the surface is coated in oil.
  • Rotating tool joint: turns and flips the workpiece on the spot to feed it into the machine fixture at the right angle.
  • Mobile base: counterweight and casters let one person roll it to another machine as needed, with a locking pin to hold it steady during work.

Benefits for the workshop

Faster loading

The workpiece stays balanced and turns to the right angle, clearly cutting the time needed to load it onto the machine.

No slipping

The pneumatic jaws apply even force, so an oily workpiece still stays firmly in the clamp.

Protects workers

No more carrying heavy workpieces by hand, cutting the risk of back and shoulder injuries and collisions with the machine.
