MANIPULATORS WITH ROLL HANDLERS

The photo shows three M35 ergo arm manipulators, each equipped with a roll mandrel that grips the inside of fiberboard cores. The roll is gripped and can be tilted 90 degrees pneumatically.

Rolls of any weight or size can be picked up vertically ("eye-to-the-sky") or horizontally. They can be pulled from a shaft, or set on a shaft.

The weight and size of the roll is limited by the inside diameter of the roll relative to it's length.

Handling rolls with a manipulator is convenient because there are no up/down pushbuttons. The load "floats", making it easier to maneuver. Also, the roll can be brought to a perfect vertical or horizontal position.

The end effector shown can be mounted on either a manipulator or a crane.

If air pressure is lost while the roll is hung vertically, a pilot-operated check valve will hold the load for long enough to bring it to the floor.

The length of the end effector's shaft can be changed by pulling a pin and swapping shafts.
