Handling and Lifting Sheet Metal: Efficiency and Safety with ATIS Manipulators

Mechanical / Metalworking, Sheet metal

Handling sheet metal of different thicknesses and dimensions is one of the most critical operations in companies that use machinery such as laser cutters, presses, or bending systems. Manual loading and unloading involve risks of injury, production slowdowns, and potential material damage. ATIS manipulators represent the ideal solution to ensure efficiency, precision, and safety at every stage of the process.

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.
