CV Manifold Handling
Irregular, Machined & Fixture-Critical Handling
CV manifolds (intake/exhaust) are rigid, irregular cast components with complex geometry - making them difficult to grip and orient consistently. The challenge on machining and assembly lines isn’t just lifting; it’s repeatable placement on fixtures, controlled tilt/rotation, and surface-safe contact to protect machined faces and sealing areas. Plant Heads look for handling that reduces station variation, avoids dents/marks, and keeps cycle time steady - especially in high-frequency loading/unloading.
Industrial Manipulators for CV Manifolds
Fine Handling designs industrial manipulators with customised manifold grippers to deliver controlled lifting, stable orientation, and repeatable placement across machining, inspection, and assembly stations. Each solution is engineered around part geometry, balance, safe contact points, reach, and docking approach. So operators guide the part smoothly while the system maintains stability. This helps maintain takt discipline and consistent output, shift after shift.
Controlled handling that reduces rework and stabilizes cycle time.
