Making the loading of radiators into the car safer and faster is certainly one of the most common demands of automotive companies. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt an aid to the manual handling of loads that allows fast and precise movements.
Traditional pneumatically controlled manipulators cannot meet this requirement because they do not respond quickly to the operator’s impulses in changing direction and in the first detachment of the load from its support, resulting in a greater effort on the part of the operator in these two phases of handling.
This would become difficult if repeated for eight working hours..
The only solution able to combine fast and precise movements with safety and ergonomics is an INDEVA® with vacuum gripping system.
Thanks to the rotation device, the radiator is rotated 180° quickly.
An INDEVA® detects and counterbalances instantly and automatically the weight of the load lifted cancelling it, also has no buttons to press during handling and does not require adjustment actions based on the weight of the load.
The use of sensors placed on the frame of the suction cups detect the presence of the radiator and activate the suction cups before they are placed on the radiator.
As soon as the gripper rests on the radiator, the radiator is immediately firmly gripped and ready to be moved.
