Part Loading in Galvanized Coating Lines
Safe, Ergonomic, and Efficient Handling of Heavy Metal Parts in Plating Lines with Pneumatic Manipulator Technology
Safe and Efficient Handling in Plating Lines
In galvanizing, chrome, nickel, or paint coating lines, the loading and unloading of metal parts are among the most challenging and hazardous operations for operators.
Because most parts are heavy, unbalanced, and require working close to chemical baths, manual handling poses serious risks in terms of both safety and product quality.
BPM Industrial Manipulators provide safe, ergonomic, and fully pneumatic solutions for loading, dipping, and unloading metal parts in these demanding environments.
Precise Control with Pneumatic Manipulators
PM manipulators operate with a 100% pneumatic system — no electricity required — ensuring flawless performance in humid, hot, or chemically vaporized environments within coating lines.
Using the ergonomic control handle, the operator can precisely grip parts, adjust dipping angles, and safely place them into the line.
