Manipulator for handling Automotive Doors
Gantry Systems for transfer of Automotive Doors
Handling door frames can be challenging due to their sharp edges, posing a risk of injuries to operators. To address this safety concern, Fine Handling prioritizes safety and has developed custom grippers tailored to the door designs of automotive manufacturers. These specialized grippers ensure safe and easy handling, mitigating the risk of cuts or wounds for operators.
Challenges
- Handle three variants of doors by single system
- Cover large area of assembly line wiith X-Y movement needs
- Different lifting and mounting angles of the doors
Solution and Benefits
To handle all three variant of the doors a specialised vacuum based gripper was used . Heavy duty vacuum cups were used with air pressure 6 bar.
Since all 4 doors were to installed by same manipulator it had to cover large area, Manipulator was mounted on Rail system with X-Y movement.
As lifting and mounting angles were different, Gripper was mounted on pivot joint which would give tilt, rotation and front back angular movement to the door.
