FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp hung a pneumatic manipulator from a trolley on an H-beam that runs the length of a production line, so one unit can grip and lift products at every station. Compressed air carries the load and the working end turns 360 degrees, letting a single operator move awkward parts without straining shoulders or back.

A long production line often has several points that need lifting, and installing a separate device at every point costs both space and money. Workers carrying items back and forth between stations lose time and risk shoulder or back injury when a product is heavy or awkward to hold.

FullSharp suspends a pneumatic manipulator from a trolley running on an H-beam along the line. The unit travels to whichever station needs it, its working end rotates 360 degrees and grips the product securely, with just one operator needed.

Pneumatic Manipulator Running on an H-Beam Track

A pneumatic manipulator suspended from an H-beam track, traveling along the production line to grip and lift products.

Equipment Installed

  • H-beam and trolley: a steel beam runs the length of the line, with the trolley carrying the manipulator to each station without needing extra equipment.
  • Pneumatic manipulator: compressed air balances the load, so a light push from the operator moves it up or down as intended.
  • Product gripping head: jaws shaped to the product, holding it firmly throughout the move.
  • Working-end swivel joint: rotates fully to set the product in the correct orientation without turning the whole arm.

Benefits for the Plant

One unit, many stations

The manipulator travels along the H-beam, serving the whole line instead of a single position.

Light to lift

Compressed air carries the weight, so workers only guide direction and position.

Secure grip, less breakage

The jaws follow the product's contour, so items do not slip during the move.

Frequently asked questions

Can one manipulator serve several workstations?

Yes. In this project the manipulator rides on a trolley along an H-beam, so it travels to whichever station needs it instead of being fixed at one point. That saves the space and cost of installing a lifting device at every station.

How does a pneumatic manipulator feel to operate?

Compressed air balances the weight of the product, so a light push from the operator moves it up or down. The worker only guides direction and position, and the jaws hold the product securely through the move.

Why does the working end need to rotate?

A swivel joint at the working end turns a full 360 degrees, so the product can be set down in the correct orientation without swinging the whole arm. FullSharp shapes the gripper jaws to the actual product contour.
