FullSharp installs a manipulator that combines pneumatic balancing with an electric supply for assembly lines where parts of tens of kilograms are picked and placed constantly. The unit cancels almost all of the load's weight, so the operator pushes in the needed direction and lets go where it should stop, with a hook, gripper or vacuum pad at the end.
On an assembly line, parts weighing tens of kilograms get picked up and set down constantly. Doing it by hand wears workers out within a few hours, parts easily knock into each other, and the line's pace slows down.

Pneumatic and electric manipulator working at an assembly station inside the factory.
Equipment installed
- Manipulator body: a pneumatic cylinder balances the load's weight and responds instantly to hand force for smooth handling.
- Electric control unit: powers the valves and tool, allowing lifting modes and safety locks to be configured.
- Control handle: lifting, lowering and tool-release buttons sit within one hand, freeing the other to guide the part.
- End-effector tool: a hook, gripper or vacuum pad fitted to match each station's part shape.
- Overhead mounting set: fixed to a rail or support column, letting the manipulator swing and reach across the work table.
Benefits for the plant
Less fatigue per shift
The operator only guides direction while the equipment carries the weight, making a full shift manageable.
Consistent line pace
Pick-and-place time stays steady, regardless of individual worker strength.
Flexible power source
Combining pneumatic and electric power makes use of the plant's existing infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Why combine pneumatic and electric power in a manipulator?
The pneumatic cylinder balances the weight and responds instantly to hand force, while the electric unit powers valves and tools and allows lifting modes and safety locks. It also uses the plant's existing infrastructure.
How does it keep line pace steady?
Pick-and-place time stays the same regardless of individual worker strength, so the line does not slow as people tire. Parts also knock into each other less often.
How is the manipulator mounted?
It is fixed to a rail or support column so it can swing and reach across the work table. FullSharp fits the end tool to each station's part.

FullSharp reviews the part's weight, the reach needed and each station's work pace before selecting the manipulator model. We build the end tool to match the exact part shape, then install and provide on-site operating guidance.
