Fixed Power-Assisted Manipulator

Introduction

Enhance workplace safety and operational efficiency with JingShi's Fixed Power-Assisted Manipulators. Designed for heavy-duty industrial environments, our fixed manipulators provide an ergonomic solution for handling loads ranging from 50kg to 500kg. By creating a "weightless" environment, these manipulators allow a single operator to lift, move, and position heavy objects with minimal physical effort (less than 5N), significantly reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and boosting assembly line productivity.

Working Principle: Advanced Pneumatic Balance Technology

Unlike traditional cranes that rely on brute force, the JingShi Fixed Power-Assisted Manipulator operates on the principle of pneumatic balance.

Zero-Gravity Effect: The system utilizes a highly sensitive proportional pressure valve to detect the weight of the workpiece and the end-effector. It automatically adjusts the air pressure in the cylinder to perfectly counterbalance the load.

Intuitive Control: Operators can move the load freely in 3D space. The manipulator "floats" along with the operator's hand movements, requiring only a gentle guiding force.

Precision Positioning: With a repeatability accuracy of ±2mm, our manipulators are ideal for precision assembly tasks where heavy components must be aligned perfectly, such as engine block installation or mold changing.

Key Features & Safety Mechanisms

Safety is paramount in industrial automation. Our fixed manipulators are engineered with multiple layers of protection to ensure operator safety and equipment longevity.

Anti-Drop Protection: In the event of a sudden air supply failure or power outage, the built-in check valve system instantly locks the air circuit, preventing the load from dropping and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.

Overload Protection: The system is designed to prevent the lifting of objects that exceed the rated capacity. If an overload is detected, the manipulator will not lift, alerting the operator to check the load.

Self-Locking Gripper: For gripping end-effectors, a mechanical self-locking device ensures the workpiece remains securely held even if pneumatic pressure fluctuates.

Low Maintenance Design: Featuring maintenance-free bearings and high-quality seals, the system is built for continuous operation in harsh industrial environments with minimal downtime.

Industrial Applications

JingShi Fixed Power-Assisted Manipulators are versatile and widely used across various manufacturing sectors. The fixed base design offers superior stability for high-load applications.

Automotive Industry: Handling engine blocks, transmissions, axles, and car doors during assembly.

Home Appliance Manufacturing: Moving heavy sheet metal stampings for washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners.

Metal Stamping & Molding: Safe loading and unloading of heavy molds in die-casting machines and stamping presses (Mold Handling).

Logistics & Warehousing: Palletizing and depalletizing heavy boxes, drums, or sacks with precision.

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum load capacity of the fixed manipulator?

A: Our standard fixed power-assisted manipulators are designed for loads between 50kg and 500kg. However, we offer OEM customization to handle specific requirements beyond this range.

Q: Can JingShi customize the arm length and lifting height?

A: Yes, we offer extensive OEM customization. The length of the manipulator arm and the maximum lifting height can be tailored to fit your specific workstation layout and ceiling height constraints. Please provide your workspace dimensions, and our engineers will design the optimal solution.

Q: How do I choose the right end-effector?

A: The choice of end-effector (vacuum lifter, mechanical gripper, or hook) depends on the shape, material, and surface of your workpiece. Contact our engineering team for a free consultation on the best gripping solution for your product.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of the manipulator?

A: With proper maintenance and regular inspection of wear parts (like sealing rings), a JingShi fixed manipulator is designed to last for over 10 years in standard industrial operating conditions. We use high-grade aluminum alloys and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability.
