Tool Manipulator, 125 kg, for Machine Part Hooking

FullSharp installed a 125 kg pneumatic manipulator with a hook tool built for the customer's part type, moving parts of over a hundred kilograms between pallets, workbench and machine in a machining shop. Compressed air carries the weight so the worker only guides it, and the load stays still at whatever height it is released.

In a machining shop, parts weighing over a hundred kilograms must move back and forth between pallets, the workbench, and the machine. Two people carrying them is slow, risks scraping machined surfaces, and strains the back after dozens of lifts per shift.

FullSharp installs a 125 kg pneumatic manipulator with a hook tool built for this part type. Compressed air carries the weight, so the worker only guides the direction, and the load stays still at whatever height it is released.

125 kg Manipulator with Mechanical Hook Tool

125 kg pneumatic manipulator with hook tool, installed at a machining area.

Equipment Installed

Pneumatic manipulator arm: air-cylinder-balanced joints hold the load suspended at any height.
Mechanical hook tool: a hook head built for parts with a hanging hole or lug, quick to swap when the part changes.
Control handle: lift and lower buttons right on the grip, so the worker holds the load and adjusts height at the same time.
Column or base frame: fixed to the floor, covering the work area around the machine and bench.

Benefits for Your Facility

Less lifting effort

The worker only guides direction while air pressure carries the load, staying fresh through a full shift.

Precise placement

The load hangs steady, making it easy to align with fixtures or a chuck.

Fewer impacts

Motion is damped, so parts do not drop and chip the machined surface.

Frequently asked questions

What does a pneumatic manipulator do in a machine shop?

It carries heavy parts between pallet, bench and machine so the operator only guides direction. Machined surfaces are not scraped as they often are when two people carry a part.

Does the load stay in place when released?

Yes. The pneumatic manipulator holds the part at the height where the operator lets go, which helps when aligning it into a fixture or chuck.

Can the hook tool be made for other parts?

The tool here is built for one part type. FullSharp designs hooks, clamps or vacuum heads for other parts after checking their shape and weight.

FullSharp needs the part's shape and hanging point to select the right tool. Our technicians survey the work area, available air pressure, and column placement, then install with training for the operating team.
