The gas tank handling manipulator is an automated device specially designed for safely and efficiently handling gas tanks. Gas tanks are usually large in size and heavy in weight, and manual handling is very difficult and dangerous. The application of manipulators can significantly improve handling efficiency and safety.
Advantages of gas tank handling manipulators
Improve efficiency: The manipulator can quickly and continuously handle gas tanks, which is faster than manual handling, shortens the handling time, and improves overall production efficiency.
Reduce labor intensity: Greatly reduce the physical labor of workers, reduce the risk of fatigue and injury caused by long-term or repeated handling of heavy objects, and improve the working environment.
Improve safety: Grasp and carry gas tanks stably and reliably, and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents such as gas tanks falling and collisions due to manual operation errors.
Accurate positioning: The manipulator can accurately place the gas tank to the specified location, such as a production line, storage area or transport vehicle, to improve operational accuracy.
Reduce product damage: The smooth handling process reduces the damage to the gas tank caused by collisions, scratches, etc. during the handling process.
Save labor costs: Automated handling reduces the need for manual handling, thereby reducing long-term labor costs.
Application scenarios of gas tank handling manipulators
Gas tank handling manipulators are widely used in various industrial fields that require the handling of gas tanks:
Gas tank manufacturing plants: Used for the handling, assembly, testing, painting and other links of gas tanks on the production line.
Compressed air stations/gas plants: Used for the warehousing, outbound, storage, loading and unloading of gas tanks.
Factories using compressed air: For example, automobile manufacturing plants, mechanical processing plants, etc., used to handle and install large gas tanks.
Logistics and warehousing industries: Used for warehousing management and transportation and loading and unloading of gas tanks.
Types of gas tank handling manipulators
Gas tank handling manipulators can be classified according to their structure and drive mode:
Pneumatic balance assist manipulators: Use air pressure to balance the gravity of the gas tank, which is light and flexible to operate and suitable for occasions that require frequent handling and precise positioning.
Electric servo assist manipulators: Use servo motor control, with higher precision and control capabilities, and can achieve more complex handling tasks.
Gripper manipulator: It uses special mechanical grippers to grip specific parts of the gas tank (such as the tank body, flange, etc.) for handling, and is suitable for gas tanks of various shapes and sizes.
Vacuum suction cup manipulator: It uses vacuum suction cups to absorb the surface of the gas tank for handling, and is suitable for gas tanks with relatively flat surfaces.
Truss manipulator: It is suitable for handling and stacking heavy gas tanks in a fixed area.
Industrial robot: It has high flexibility and programmability, and can achieve various complex gas tank handling tasks through end effectors (grippers, suction cups, etc.).
