Handling and Lifting Sheet Metal: Efficiency and Safety with ATIS Manipulators
Mechanical / Metalworking, Sheet metal
Why Is Sheet‑Metal Handling a Challenge?
- Variable weight and dimensions: Sheet metal can be very heavy and bulky.
- Risk of injuries: Repeated manual lifting causes physical strain and possible injuries.
- Material damage: Inaccurate handling can bend or scratch the sheet.
- Long cycle times: Manual loading and unloading significantly slow down productivity.
How ATIS Manipulators Solve the Problem
- Easier loading and unloading: Fast handling of sheet metal on laser‑cutting machines and other equipment.
- Scrap management: Ability to unload cut‑out sheet‑metal sections using integrated hooks.
- Suction‑cup system with Venturi technology: Secure and stable gripping even on smooth surfaces.
- Manually adjustable frame: Adaptable to different sheet‑metal sizes.
- Automatic suction‑cup exclusion: Reduction of lifting capacity to raise only the sheets that are required.
- Precision and safety: Controlled handling that reduces errors and accidents.
