Not every plant has compressed air lines running to each work station, yet workers still must lift and lower heavy loads over and over. Adding a compressor and piping for just one station is costly and noisy. Many clean production areas also restrict blowing air into the work environment.

FullSharp distributes an electric manipulator that uses an electric motor instead of an air cylinder. The unit holds the load floating at the right height, lifting and lowering with very light hand motion. All it needs is a local power outlet, with no need to invest in a separate compressed air system for the station.

FullSharp Electric Manipulator, Distributed in Vietnam

An electric manipulator distributed by FullSharp, installed at a work station in the plant.

Equipment Installed

  • Electric drive unit: an electric motor replaces the air cylinder for lifting and lowering, needing only a local power outlet to operate.
  • Floating load holder: the load stops at any height, letting the worker align the fitting position without supporting its weight.
  • Control handle on the arm: lift, lower, and release buttons within hand's reach let one person handle the whole motion.
  • Tool head matched to the part: a hook, clamp, or suction pad built to match the exact part the customer is handling.

Benefits for the Plant

No compressed air needed

Runs on the station's power outlet, avoiding the need for an extra compressor and piping at just one location.

Quiet operation

No air exhaust noise, suiting clean and quiet production areas.

Less fatigue for workers

The equipment carries the load, so repeating the motion all shift stays light on the operator.

FullSharp checks the load's weight, the shape of its gripping point, the working height, and the power available at the station to select the manipulator configuration. We design the tool head to match your exact part and run a trial at your plant. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
