Crucible handling manipulator

Key Technical Features

Grip Mechanism: Scissor-style or circular clamps with refractory-lined pads to prevent crucible damage.

Tilt Control: Precise hydraulic or electric actuators for smooth pouring to prevent “cold shuts” or splashing.

Heat Shielding: Specialized coatings and thermal barriers to protect the electronics and hydraulic fluid from radiant heat.

Fail-Safes: Pressure-drop sensors that prevent the gripper from releasing the crucible in the event of power loss.

Why Use a Manipulator?

• Operator Safety: Protects workers from extreme radiant heat, toxic fumes, and the risk of catastrophic spills.

• Consistency: Unlike manual pouring, a manipulator can replicate the exact angle and speed of a pour every time, ensuring higher casting quality.

• Ergonomics: Crucibles are heavy; manipulators eliminate the physical strain on foundry staff, reducing long-term injury risks.
