*Gentle Plus* is a rope type pneumatic manipulator developed by BPM – Bavarian Pneumatic Manipulators for ergonomic and precise handling of loads up to 300 kg.
It is an *air powered industrial lifting system* that creates a zero gravity effect through pneumatic balancing. This allows operators to move, lift, and position loads with minimal effort and maximum control.
Gentle Plus is widely used in production environments where repetitive lifting, operator fatigue, and positioning accuracy are critical challenges.
Why Use a Pneumatic Manipulator?*
Manual handling of medium loads leads to:
* Operator fatigue
* Inconsistent positioning
* Increased risk of workplace injuries
* Reduced production efficiency
Gentle Plus solves these problems by providing an *operator assisted lifting system* that ensures safe, controlled, and repeatable movements.
Working Principle
The system operates with a dual rope structure:
* One rope carries the load
* The second rope stabilizes and balances the system
The pneumatic circuit continuously compensates load وزن, ensuring smooth vertical movement and stable positioning.
