FullSharp installed an 80 kg articulating electric manipulator driven by a servo motor, for parts of 50 to 80 kg that workers carried from pallets to machine tables. The multi-segment arm with a 360 degree joint reaches any point in the work area, and the worker guides it by the handle, while a brake and overload sensor add safety.

Many plants still have workers manually carry parts weighing 50 to 80 kg from pallets onto machine tables. This method is slow and prone to back injury, and heavy parts often need repeated adjustment before landing in the right position.

FullSharp installed an 80 kg rated articulating electric manipulator driven by a servo motor. The multi-segment arm with a 360-degree rotating joint brings the load to any point in the work area, while the worker only holds the handle and guides it as needed.

80 kg Servo-Assisted Articulating Electric Manipulator for Production Plants

80 kg articulating electric manipulator installed at a work area in a production plant.

Equipment Installed

  • Articulating arm: made of multiple connected segments that extend and rotate in three-dimensional space, unlike a hoist which is limited to vertical movement.
  • Electric servo motor: carries most of the load's weight, so the operator needs only a small force to raise and lower it.
  • Control handle: positioned within easy reach, raising and lowering in response to hand pressure for quick, accurate positioning with fewer adjustments.
  • Safety mechanism: an automatic brake and overload sensor keep the load steady if the operator releases the handle.
  • Interchangeable work head: fit a clamp or suction head to match the product shape of each process step.

Benefits for Your Facility

Effortless all shift

The servo motor carries the load, so workers only guide direction and can keep up the pace continuously.

Precise placement

The arm holds the load steady at any height, making it easier to fit parts into locating holes than carrying by hand.

Improved safety

The brake and overload sensor reduce the risk of dropping the load during a power loss or operator error.

Frequently asked questions

What is a servo manipulator?

It is an electric lifting arm driven by a servo motor. It carries the load and follows the operator's guidance at the handle, so parts can be placed precisely.

What power supply does it need?

The manipulator in this project runs on AC 220V or 380V, and the lifting travel is set to the customer's requirement. Main components carry a 12 month warranty.

How does it improve part placement?

Parts no longer need repeated adjusting by hand. The arm holds them steady and the operator brings them to the exact point on the machine table.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp conducts an on-site survey to measure the work area, ceiling height, and base mounting location. We then finalize the arm's reach, lifting travel, and work head type to match your product.
