A power manipulator is a mechanical arm that uses power to precisely lift, move, and position heavy or hazardous objects. It enhances efficiency and safety in industrial settings like manufacturing and logistics by reducing labor intensity and preventing injuries, and is also used in remote or dangerous environments such as nuclear facilities for tasks like maintenance and dismantling.
Industrial applications of manipulator arm
Manufacturing and logistics: Streamlines material handling, improves operation accuracy, and reduces labor costs.
Assembly: Used for high-precision assembly tasks with high accuracy and stability.
Heavy industry: Handles large workpieces in sectors like automotive manufacturing and heavy machinery processing.
Intelligent systems: Can be integrated into automated production lines, AGVs, and intelligent warehousing systems.
Specialized applications of lifting manipulator
Nuclear industry: Designed for remote operations in hazardous areas like hot cells, including maintenance, dismantling, and handling radioactive material.
Remote maintenance: Enables operators to perform tasks on equipment in shielded cells or other dangerous locations.
Bomb disposal: Electric-powered, folding manipulators are used on mine clearance vehicles to pick up and move suspect devices.
Key features of power assisted manipulator
Precision and control: Offers high-precision positioning with features like zero-gravity handling, where the operator needs only a small force to control heavy loads.
Modular design: Allows for quick changeover of different end effectors (like suction cups or claws) and facilitates faster maintenance with modular parts.
Safety: Includes features like anti-collision systems, overload protection, emergency stops, and inherent safety measures to prevent objects from falling in case of power failure.
Automation: Can be automated with feedback systems and programmed for complex tasks.
