Crankcase Handling
Heavy, Machined & Orientation-Critical Handling
Crankcases are heavy, rigid components that must be moved repeatedly between machining, inspection, and assembly stations. The real issue isn’t lifting, it’s secure gripping on complex geometry, controlled tilt/rotation to match fixtures, and protecting machined faces & critical edges during every transfer. Repetitive manual handling, especially with awkward postures, also increases strain and fatigue.
Industrial Manipulators for Crankcases
Fine Handling engineers industrial manipulators with customised crankcase grippers to deliver controlled lifting, stable orientation, and repeatable placement. Each solution is designed around centre-of-gravity behaviour, safe contact points, reach, and docking logic, so the operator guides the part while the system maintains stability, helping keep load/unload time predictable and supporting takt discipline.
Seamless crankcase handling with Ergonomics, Safety of Manpower & Component.
Fine systems standardize crankcase movement across stations—improving placement repeatability, reducing handling-induced surface risk, and keeping transfer cycles consistent even during high-frequency load/unload operations.
