Pneumatic industrial manipulator (HA series)

In industrial manufacturing and processing sectors, heavy lifting not only demands immense physical labour but also poses numerous safety risks and impacts productivity. VIETMANI's HA Series Industrial Pneumatic Manipulator has been developed to address these challenges, enabling operators to move loads of up to 1,000 kg effortlessly, precisely, and safely. Featuring Auto Balancer – Zero Gravity technology and the ability to be custom-designed for specific practical applications, the HA Series is an optimal lifting solution for modern production lines, contributing to enhanced operational efficiency and reduced labour costs.

What is the HA Series Pneumatic Manipulator?

HA Series Pneumatic Manipulator is a line of Industrial Pneumatic Manipulators that utilises compressed air to assist in lifting and moving heavy objects effortlessly, precisely, and safely. Researched, designed, and manufactured by VIETMANI, this equipment is intended to replace manual lifting methods or traditional hoisting equipment in tasks requiring high precision and continuous operating frequency. The HA Series is capable of handling load capacities ranging from 80 kg to 1,000 kg, fulfilling diverse requirements across mechanical engineering, automotive, electronics, logistics, and various other industrial sectors.

The distinguishing feature of the HA Series lies in its Auto Balancer – Zero Gravity technology, which allows for automatic load balancing, enabling operators to control heavy objects with virtually no physical exertion. Consequently, lifting, lowering, rotating, tilting, or positioning operations are performed smoothly, significantly reducing the risk of workplace accidents and minimising product damage during production. VIETMANI's load-balancing system is developed based on the Auto Balancer Patent No. 36603, while also integrating safety features such as safety load locking upon loss of air pressure and an Interlock mechanism to ensure stable operation.

Unlike standard lifting equipment, every HA Series pneumatic manipulator is custom-designed according to the specific requirements of each application. From load capacity, working radius, and lifting stroke to end effectors and installation options, everything is tailored to suit the product characteristics, workshop space, and production processes of the enterprise. It is this customisation capability that makes the HA Series an optimal lifting solution, contributing to boosted productivity, improved working conditions, and optimised operational costs for modern factories.

Key Features of VIETMANI Pneumatic Manipulators

Custom Design for Specific Practical Applications

Every enterprise has distinct production processes, products, and working environments. Therefore, the HA Series pneumatic manipulator is not designed to a fixed standard but is surveyed, calculated, and customised by VIETMANI for each specific application. From load capacity, working radius, and lifting stroke to installation options and end effectors, every aspect is optimised to accurately meet the customer's operational requirements.

As a result, the HA Series can be applied across various stages such as lifting sheet steel, moulds, engines, steel coils, mechanical components, bagged goods, carton boxes, and numerous products with irregular shapes or special dimensions.

Precise and Effortless Lifting

The HA Series utilises a pneumatic load-balancing system combined with Auto Balancer – Zero Gravity technology, significantly reducing the physical exertion required from the operator when lifting heavy objects. The equipment allows for smooth multi-directional load movement while assisting in precise positioning at assembly or processing workstations.

Thanks to automatic load balancing, operators can perform continuous lifting, lowering, rotating, or moving operations with high precision, alleviating workplace fatigue and enhancing production efficiency.

Custom-Designed End Effectors

The effectiveness of a pneumatic manipulator system depends not only on the lifting arm but also on the End Effector. VIETMANI designs and manufactures custom end effectors for each specific product type to ensure a secure grip, convenient manipulation, and zero damage to the surface or structural integrity of the lifted object.

Depending on the application, the system can integrate various solutions such as mechanical grippers, pneumatic grippers, vacuum grippers, magnetic grippers, or specialised mechanisms capable of rotating, tilting, and positioning products during production. The seamless combination of the HA Series manipulator arm and dedicated end effectors optimises productivity while adhering to the technical requirements of each production line.

Ensuring Operational Safety

Safety is always a paramount priority in the design of the HA Series. The system is equipped with multiple protection features to minimise risks during lifting operations, including a Safety Lock upon loss of air pressure, an Interlock mechanism, and an anti-drop feature that prevents load release while the product is in motion. These functionalities mitigate the risk of dropped loads, protecting both the operator and the product.

Furthermore, the equipment is designed in compliance with QCVN 07:2012/BLDTBXH (National Technical Regulation on Lifting Equipment Safety), fulfilling industrial safety requirements and aligning with diverse factory operational standards. By maintaining superior control over load and motion, the HA Series helps reduce workplace accidents, prevents collisions, and enhances stability throughout the entire production process.

Flexible Integration of Multiple Installation Options

To suit the practical conditions of each factory, the HA Series pneumatic manipulator can be deployed with various installation configurations. For fixed workstations, the equipment is mounted on a Fixed Column, delivering high stability and large lifting capacities. When there is a need to expand the operational scope or serve mobile production lines, the HA Series can be integrated with KBK aluminium overhead track systems, allowing single- or dual-axis movement across an extended working area.

Additionally, VIETMANI provides options such as a Moving Table, pneumatic pressure Booster, Rotary Union with various rotation angles, and pneumatic actuation mechanisms. This allows customers to flexibly select the ideal configuration matching the installation space, air supply, and operational requirements of each project.

Technical Specifications of VIETMANI Pneumatic Manipulators

The HA Series pneumatic manipulator is designed in multiple configurations to fulfil diverse requirements regarding load capacity, workspace, and operational needs of each enterprise. The parameters below are standard specifications and can be customised according to the practical requirements of each project.

Note: Technical specifications can be tailored based on load capacity, product dimensions, working radius, lifting stroke, and project-specific operational requirements to ensure optimal efficiency and safety.
