Power-assisted manipulator balance crane, usually referred to as power-assisted manipulator or balance crane, is an advanced industrial auxiliary handling equipment designed to greatly reduce the physical labor of operators and achieve “zero gravity” handling and precise positioning of heavy objects. It combines the carrying capacity of lifting equipment and the flexible operability of manipulators, and is an important tool for improving efficiency, ensuring safety and improving ergonomics in modern industrial production.
Main advantages
Greatly reduce labor intensity: Operators can hardly feel the weight of heavy objects, and only need to apply very little force to move heavy objects, effectively avoiding occupational diseases such as muscle strain, sprains, and lumbar injuries caused by carrying heavy objects.
Significantly improve operational safety:
Anti-fall protection: Most power-assisted manipulators have air-off protection or power-off self-locking functions, which can keep the load suspended even if the air or power supply is interrupted to prevent the workpiece from accidentally falling.
Precise control and reduced collision: Smooth operation reduces the risk of collision between the workpiece and the surrounding environment or equipment.
Stay away from dangerous areas: In dangerous working conditions such as high temperature, toxicity, and fragility, operators can maintain a safe distance and operate through the manipulator.
Improve production efficiency and product quality:
Fast and accurate positioning: Operators can easily align heavy objects accurately to the target position (such as machine tool chucks, assembly holes), greatly shortening the alignment time.
Reduce workpiece damage: Smooth handling and accurate alignment reduce damage to workpieces caused by bumps and falls during handling.
Improve production rhythm: Reduce physical exertion, allowing operators to work longer and more efficiently.
Improve ergonomics: Optimize working posture, reduce fatigue, and improve employee work comfort and satisfaction.
Strong flexibility and adaptability: By replacing different fixtures, you can quickly adapt to the handling needs of workpieces of different types, sizes and shapes.
Typical application scenarios
Power manipulator balance cranes are widely used in industrial fields that require human participation but involve heavy objects or high-precision alignment:
Mechanical processing: loading and unloading of machine tools (such as lathes, milling machines, machining centers), handling of castings, forgings, plates, etc.
Automobile manufacturing: Assembly and handling of parts such as engines, gearboxes, doors, windows, seats, etc.
Mold industry: Handling, installation and disassembly of molds.
Home appliance manufacturing: Assembly of large parts such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.
Glass/plate processing: Adsorption, handling and stacking of flat workpieces such as large glass, metal plates, and wood boards.
Logistics warehousing: Sorting, stacking, loading and unloading of goods.
Casting/metallurgy: Handling and pouring of high-temperature crucibles and castings (high-temperature resistant fixtures are required).
Aerospace: Precision assembly of aircraft parts and engine parts.
Food/medicine: Handling and stacking of bagged and barreled materials (must meet clean requirements).
