The hook gripping system can simply be our standard hook, and it is often, but not only, fitted on our ATISacer balanced rope manipulators. The shaped hook tool is a simple and essential gripping system that adapts well when handling various types of products, from cans or drums of paint, to packs of cardboard and much more. Our technical department will develop the required shape of the gripper in order to handle the product in complete safety and with maximum ease. The integration of the pneumatic hook balancer in the production cycle will be fast and the ATIS manipulator will become an irreplaceable ally for the operator in carrying out his job.

The suction tooling adopted and integrated into ATIS pneumatic manipulators has multiple applications in different sectors of various industries. These pneumatic toolings are capable of lifting and moving many and diversified products such as sheet metal, boxes, glass sheets, bottles and more. Suction tooling could be designed in many ways. It can be tooling with a single suction cup or multiple suction cups because the choice is dictated by the size, weight and shape of the product to handle. The suction tooling frames are designed considering the customer's request. The suction retainers on the frame can be fixed or adjustable to cover various shapes and dimensions of the product to handle. Certain feature such as inclination and rotation, for flipping product upside down, can be integrated into the tooling. The rotation and inclination capability could be either manual or pneumatic, while a continuous 360º rotation is also attainable with our suction tooling. All gripping tools integrated to our pneumatic manipulators are thoroughly analysed, designed and equipped with the best safety systems available on today's market.

The magnets, either manual or pneumatic, also known as integrated magnets, can be integrated into all ATIS pneumatic manipulators:

• ATISmirus series, the articulated rigid arms manipulators with parallelograms.
• ATISacer series, the articulated rigid arms manipulators with double wire cables.
• ATISlinear series, the vertical sliding manipulators and compact.
• ATISferax series, the lever actionable pneumatic manipulators.  

The magnet tooling can as well be integrated into numerous other solutions available at ATIS.

Once the choice of tooling fell on using a magnet as the best solution for handling customer's product, it will be our engineering design department that will evaluate and design suitable magnet tooling to be integrated to the manipulator.

More than one magnet can be used for an application, for example, a long steel pipe or large steel coil will need more than one magnet to lift it at the same time.

The magnets and the pneumatics, inclusive of the necessary push-button control, will all be integrated into the tooling.

When aren't required specific movements, a not complicated work cycle is involved (like simply gripping and releasing the product) and in any other case where hook manipulator cannot be a good fit, we can supply pneumatic manipulators with mechanical grippers, i.e. pneumatic manipulators with a mechanical pantograph.

The mechanical grippers are always developed to adapt to the product handled and with attention to the smallest details, adapting to the shape of the product.

Crates, trees, boxes, foodstuffs and many other products can be lifted and moved effortlessly, thanks to this gripping system.

For all the more particular applications and where there is the need to rotate, tilt and/or grip the product in specific points with assembly references and many other details, the solution is to use an ATIS manipulator with pneumatic grippers.

The gripping system with pneumatic grippers is extensive and ranges from the simplest grippers for gripping the outside diameter of a drum or a reel, or the sides of boxes or crates, or it can be deployed to grip internal diameters of various shapes and dimension, up to the more complex grippers also equipped with automation for assembling the components in accurate and defined positions.

Thanks to the extensive experience and knowledge of the sector, ATIS develops gripping systems that are functional, long-lasting, safe, reliable and ergonomic.
