In the industrial sector, material handling is a crucial activity, but often burdensome and risky for operators. Hoists and jibs have long been used, but industrial manipulators represent a significant evolution, offering advantages in terms of ergonomics, safety, and efficiency. This article explores the differences between these solutions and why ATIS industrial manipulators stand out in the market.
Hoists, whether electric or manual, are mainly designed for the vertical lifting of loads. Horizontal movement is limited and often imprecise, requiring the operator to manually guide and stabilize the load. The operator is forced to bear part of the load's weight and perform repetitive and strenuous movements, increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, especially in the back and shoulders. They can obstruct the movement of operators and materials.
They allow for the lifting, lowering, rotating, tilting, and transferring of loads with minimal effort from the operator, completely eliminating the weight of the object being handled. Thanks to balancing systems and intuitive interfaces, ATIS industrial manipulators offer precise and micrometric control of the load's positioning, allowing for complex operations to be performed with ease. Manipulators almost completely eliminate the physical effort required of the operator, drastically reducing the risk of injuries and occupational diseases. They can be fixed or mobile, column or ceiling mounted, offering unparalleled flexibility. Wide working area and the possibility of reaching difficult-to-access points, even underneath. The compact and intelligent design of ATIS manipulators makes it possible to make the best use of the available space, reducing bulk and improving the organization of the work environment.
ATIS manipulators are designed with particular attention to ergonomics, to minimize physical effort and prevent operator fatigue. The intuitive controls and user-friendly interfaces allow the manipulator to be used naturally and comfortably. The reduction in the risk of injury translates into a decrease in absenteeism and an improvement in the company climate.
ATIS manipulators are equipped with state-of-the-art safety devices to prevent accidental falls of the load and protect operators from potential hazards. Locking systems, presence sensors, and acoustic and visual alarms ensure safe and reliable operation. The gripping systems are designed to hold the load safely and stably, avoiding damage to the materials being handled.
ATIS manipulators are capable of handling a wide range of materials, of different shapes, sizes, and weights. The gripping systems can be customized to adapt to the specific needs of the customer, using suction cups, grippers, forks, magnets, or other devices. ATIS manipulators are used in various industrial sectors, including automotive, food, pharmaceutical, logistics, and many others.
ATIS manipulators allow materials to be handled more quickly and precisely than traditional solutions, reducing cycle times and increasing productivity. The automation of some phases of the handling process frees operators from repetitive and strenuous tasks, allowing them to concentrate on higher value-added activities. Greater efficiency translates into a reduction in operating costs and an improvement in the company's competitiveness.
