Safe, ergonomic and efficient handling in production lines

News

Handling brake discs in industrial environments requires precision, safety and ergonomics. These components are heavy, handled repeatedly and often critical in automotive production processes.

The pneumatic Azzeratore is an assisted handling solution designed to simplify and secure the gripping and positioning of brake discs, thanks to the combination of zero‑gravity technology and a custom gripper developed for the component.

What is a pneumatic zero gravity?

Is a zero‑gravity pneumatic manipulator that allows operators to lift and position heavy loads as if they were weightless.

The system follows the operator’s movements, ensuring smoothness, precision and safety throughout every phase of the cycle.

Applied to brake disc handling, it is ideal for:

  • lifting and positioning in the production line
  • loading and unloading machine tools
  • transfer between different workstations
  • assembly and quality control operations

Custom gripper: the key to a secure grip

Each brake disc has specific geometries and functional surfaces that require accurate gripping. For this reason, our Azzeratore is equipped with a custom‑designed gripper, developed according to the component and the production cycle.

Main benefits of the custom gripper:

  • stable and repeatable grip
  • protection of component surfaces
  • maximum stability during handling

The result is a reliable process and consistent quality over time.

Conclusion

Brake disc handling does not have to be physically demanding or risky.
With a pneumatic Azzeratore and custom gripper, it is possible to achieve a safe, ergonomic and efficient solution that improves productivity and workplace quality.

If your production line involves repetitive brake disc handling, a weight‑zeroing Azzeratore can make a real difference.

Let’s design your handling solution together.
Safe. Ergonomic. Tailor-made.
