Manipulator for Ceramic Grids

The handling of tile grids requires high precision, maximum load stability, and perfect control during all operating phases. In the ceramic industry, where product quality and production continuity are essential, improper handling can cause slowdowns, operator fatigue, and a greater risk of material damage.

For this reason, more and more companies are choosing industrial manipulators specifically designed for handling tiles and ceramic grids

he challenges in handling tiles and ceramic grids

Tile manufacturers have to deal with several challenges every day:

handling delicate loads;
risk of product damage;
repetitive operations;
need for high positioning precision;
reduction of operator fatigue;
increased productivity.

When handling is carried out without a suitable solution, working times increase and the risk of errors during material transfer and positioning becomes greater.

Industrial manipulator for handling tile grids

ATIS industrial manipulators are designed to assist the operator during the gripping, lifting, handling, and release of tiles and ceramic grids.

Thanks to customized gripping systems based on the characteristics of the product, the load is handled safely and in a controlled manner throughout every operating phase.

The combination of ergonomics, precision, and load control makes it possible to improve production performance and increase the level of safety within the facility

Safe gripping, controlled handling, and controlled release

Safe gripping of tile grids

Gripping the load is one of the most delicate moments of the entire production cycle.

The dedicated gripping system ensures:

quick engagement of the material;
high load stability;
reduced oscillations;
maximum operational reliability.

Safe gripping helps preserve the integrity of the tiles and improves operator control during the subsequent handling phases.

Balanced handling for optimal load control

Once the material has been lifted, the manipulator keeps the load properly balanced.

This allows operators to:

facilitate handling;
improve operational precision;
reduce physical effort;
increase safety.

Constant control of the center of gravity makes it possible to handle tile grids smoothly and precisely, even during the most intensive work cycles.

Controlled release and precise positioning

The use of a pneumatic manipulator for tiles offers numerous benefits:

Greater safety

Reduction of the risks associated with manual load handling.

Improved ergonomics

Reduced operator fatigue during repetitive activities.

Increased productivity

Reduced handling times and increased operational efficiency.

Product protection

Controlled movements that limit the risk of tile damage.

Operational precision

Load control from gripping through to final release.

Applications of manipulators for tiles

Industrial manipulators are used in numerous activities within the ceramic industry:

handling of tile grids;
handling of packaged tiles;
loading and unloading production lines;
palletizing and depalletizing;
transfer between different workstations;
handling of ceramic components;
end-of-line production operations.

ATIS manipulators for the ceramic industry

ATIS develops customized industrial manipulators to meet the handling requirements of the ceramic industry.

Each solution is designed according to:

load weight;
product dimensions;
frequency of use;
available space;
ergonomic and production requirements.

Thanks to dedicated gripping systems and an ergonomics-oriented design, ATIS manipulators ensure safe, precise, and efficient handling of tiles and ceramic grids.
