Motor Block Inner Spade Handling
BPM Manipulators: Safe and Precise Handling of Motor Core Blocks in Foundries and Casting Facilities
Challenges in Handling Motor Core Blocks
Motor block casting uses sand cores (“maçalar”), which are:
Manual handling risks product loss and production delays.
BPM Industrial Manipulators address these challenges with pneumatic balancing systems, allowing safe and precise handling even for unevenly weighted cores.
Core Block Handling Technology
The pneumatic balance system neutralizes the core’s weight, letting the operator guide it effortlessly.
0°–90° rotation ensures cores can be positioned vertically or horizontally.
Specially designed grippers or vacuum tools protect fragile surfaces during transport.
