Manipulator – Intelligent Material Handling Solution for Investment Casting
The Embicon Manipulator is a smart, semi-automated material handling system specifically designed for investment casting processes, especially for the ceramic coating and shell-building stages. Built with a strong mechanical arm and precision controls, the manipulator ensures safe, ergonomic, and efficient movement of shell molds during dipping, rainfall, and drying operations.
Key Features
- 360° Rotational Movement : Allowing precise and easy positioning of ceramic shells during the dipping and coating process.
- Customizable Gripper Design : Designed to securely hold shell hangers of various shapes and sizes.
- Adjustable Arm Reach & Lift : Flexible arm extension and vertical motion to handle different tank depths and shell sizes.
- Single-Operator Friendly : Reduces labor dependency and physical strain. One operator can handle large volumes safely.
- Payload Capacity: Up to 50 kg : Engineered for strength and durability to handle a range of shell weights.
- Electric / Pneumatic / Hydraulic Options : Available in multiple actuation types based on client need and floor conditions.
