Repeatedly lifting materials weighing ten to several dozen kilograms all day is the most common cause of back and shoulder injuries in a workshop. As a shift wears on, movements slow down and misplacement becomes more frequent.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic manipulator right at the work position. The pneumatic mechanism carries nearly all the weight, and the operator only needs to push gently in the desired direction. The gripper, hook, or vacuum pad is built to match the type of goods, so nothing needs tying off each time.

Pneumatic Manipulator for Workshops

A pneumatic manipulator installed at a workstation inside a workshop.

Equipment installed

  • Multi-jointed arm: rotates flexibly around the column, reaching the whole work area without moving the base.
  • Pneumatic assist unit: balances the load's weight, holding it suspended at exactly the height being placed.
  • Interchangeable gripper head: hook, clamp, or vacuum pad built to match the workshop's goods.
  • Control handle: light, one-hand operation, leaving the other hand free to guide the object.
  • Base: bolted to the floor or mobile, depending on the installation position.

Benefits for the workshop

Less back and shoulder pain

The equipment carries the load while workers only guide direction, keeping productivity steady through the shift.

Accurate placement

The object stays suspended and stable, so it lands in the mold or rack correctly the first time.

Compact installation

Takes up only a small column, with no need to rearrange machines in the workshop.

FullSharp measures the object's weight, the reach needed, and the ceiling height at the work position. Our engineers select the manipulator configuration and build the gripper head to match the actual goods. After installation, FullSharp trains the production team on operation.
