Billets handling and rotation: safety and efficiency in production

Handling metal billets is a complex operation that requires precision, stability and maximum safety. Thanks to the new ATIS manipulator with gripper system and controlled rotation function, companies can optimise this stage of the production cycle, improving ergonomics and reducing risks for the operator.

Main advantages

Safety first
The mechanical/pneumatic gripper system ensures a stable and reliable grip on the billet, minimising the risk of accidental slipping or falling during lifting, translation and rotation.

Controlled rotation
The manipulator allows precise rotation of the billets, facilitating positioning operations on machine tools, production lines or processing plants. This function reduces operating times and increases flexibility in the assembly and transformation phases.

Ergonomics for the operator
Thanks to its intuitive controls and rigid arm design, the manipulator reduces physical strain on the operator, ensuring a safer and more comfortable working environment.

Versatile application
The manipulator can be customised to handle billets of different sizes, materials and weights, adapting to industrial contexts such as steelmaking, metallurgy and mechanical processing.

Robustness and reliability
The high-strength steel structure and certified components ensure durability and consistent performance even under intensive use.

Technical details

  • Gripping system: pneumatic/mechanical gripper for secure gripping of billets
  • Functions: lifting, translation and controlled rotation
  • Structure: rigid arm in high-strength steel
  • Applications: handling of billets

Why choose a manipulator

Choosing an ATIS manipulator means investing in safety, productivity and ergonomics. Thanks to the possibility of customising the gripper and rotation system, this solution is a strategic ally for all companies that work with metal billets and need a reliable system to reduce downtime and operational risks.
