On the customer's line, parts weighing over a hundred kilograms need to be picked up and set down repeatedly through a shift. Two people carrying it together still struggle to position it accurately in the fixture, and over time this leads to shoulder and spine pain. The pick and place points are also several meters apart, making the task even harder.
FullSharp installed an electric articulated manipulator rated 100 to 200 kg with reach up to 3 meters. The multi-joint, electrically driven arm moves the load smoothly and stops exactly on point. The operator only holds the handle and presses the button, no longer carrying the load on their body.
FullSharp's articulated electric manipulator with a multi-joint arm, lifting a part on the production line.
Parts weighing over a hundred kilograms are handled by the machine, so workers no longer bear the load directly.
The wide reach allows picking and placing at two points apart without walking back and forth.
Electric drive stops smoothly, so the part seats precisely in the fixture with little need for readjustment.
FullSharp measures the part's weight and the distance between the pick and place points to select the arm configuration and joint lengths. Our engineers examine the actual part and design the end tool to match its gripping points. Contact FullSharp to schedule a survey on your line.
