ROPE Manipulator

with pneumatic weight equalisation

The SEIL Manipulator is a manually guided handling device with pneumatic weight equalisation. It allows loads of up to 150 kg to be moved quickly and sensitively.

In combination with standardised or customised load handling attachments, it can be used for a wide range of products. Thanks to the wide range of installation options, the manipulator can be integrated into any environment.

Due to its low weight, it is particularly suitable for quick and easy handling. With a Standard working stroke up to 1600 mm and the flexible suspension allows all degrees of freedom when operating.

The SEIL manipulator is preferably used when products with low loads need to be moved quickly. The manipulator is an irreplaceable aid in the assembly, production and packaging sectors.

The operator is optimally supported, particularly in the case of constantly recurring manual movement sequences, without impairing freedom of movement.

Drift compensation

  • Adjustability and neutralisation of drift behaviour
  • Greatly reduced dead weight and therefore less inertia

Swivel bearing with endless rotary feedthrough

  • No tedious turning back of the pick-up device or manipulator necessary
  • No twisting of the power cables
  • No impacts due to stops on the rotary axes

Brakes on the rotary axes

  • Floating bearing with counter jaw
  • Spring preloaded for de-energised state
  • Can be designed as a parking or holding brake

Move SEIL manipulator for front and rear windows

27.11.2025

This is where our pneumatic SEIL manipulator is used to move front and rear windows. To cover a large working area, it can be moved along a light-duty crane rail system. A telescopic extension was integrated into the bridge rail to allow the manipulator to navigate around the hall columns. The lifting motion is controlled by a pneumatic balancing system to ensure movements that are as smooth and precise as possible. The windows are swiveled continuously using a joystick on the integrated control unit. This makes it easy to adjust the windows to the various angles required by the special load carrier and the storage configuration.

Here, our pneumatic SEIL manipulator is used on a slewing jib. Thanks to the lightweight construction of our swivel slewing jibs and the counterbalance control with adjustable load weight, the components can be handled with virtually no resistance. The combined gripping device features suction grippers for picking up the cardboard boxes. The plastic part to be unpacked is picked up by an integrated gripping unit. The various component lengths can be adjusted using locking pins.

Our pneumatic SEIL manipulator is used to transfer axle beams in the automotive industry’s axle manufacturing process. Suspended from a lightweight aluminum crane system, it can cover large work areas. Thanks to its precise balancing control, components can be transferred quickly and with precision from the special load carrier to the workpiece carrier.
