Famatec North America: Line of Ergonomic Manipulators

To allow an operator to effortlessly suspend, rotate, tilt and transfer product with precision, a line of ergonomic manipulators by Famatec precisely counterbalances heavy loads.

Equipped with appropriate end-of-arm tooling, they can be used in manipulating, transferring or installing product. Models handle load capacities up to 1,100 pounds in a working radius up to 20 feet. The manipulators adapt to the operator’s preferred working height and position. Once suspended, the product can be moved manually or under power. A simple, intuitive control console adjusts the counterbalance force, rotation, tilt, braking and parking.

Suspended product can be rotated ±90 degrees under power, or rotated continuously by hand, with a powered tilting range of 0 to 93 degrees. To support the product until it reaches its destination, a safety device is incorporated.
