Sheet Metal Handling
Thin, Flexible & Damage-Prone Handling
Sheet metal is difficult because it’s large, thin, flexible, and sharp-edged - easy to bend, scratch, or dent during lifting and transfer. In press shops, laser lines, and fabrication bays, Plant Heads typically want zero surface damage, repeatable placement, no shape distortion and stable cycle time, because even small handling marks or mis-positioning can lead to rework and line delays. Large sheets are also cumbersome to move and often require multiple people when handled manually, which slows operations.
Industrial Manipulators with Vacuum Grippers for Sheet Metal
Fine Handling provides manipulators with vacuum grippers to lift and position metal sheets with controlled motion and uniform grip/release. Customised grippers reduce manual adjustments, help prevent damage to delicate sheets, and keep handling repeatable across shifts—supporting smoother flow from storage to machine loading to downstream processing.
