It is essential that your industrial manipulator work exactly the way you need it to. The safety of your employees depends on it, as does your production and the quality of your final product.
You can either buy a ready-to-use “out of the box” handling system or design your own manipulator with your own specifications so that it meets your exact needs.
Both types of manipulators have advantages and disadvantages.
“Out of the box” manipulators
- They are easier to integrate and less expensive so they offer better value for money than custom manipulators.
- This standard type of solution does not always meet employees’ real requirements. The manipulator may not manipulate as far as you require for example.
- Risk of injury to your employees who may be required to complete the work manually.
- Risk of slowing production.
Custom manipulators
- They operate exactly as you would like them to.
- You can add tools specifically developed for your application to the end of the manipulator.
- They allow you to create a safer industrial environment for your employees.
- Custom manipulators meet your production needs perfectly. They allow you to execute orders faster, without slowing down production and without your operators having to manually intervene to complete certain tasks (unlike standard manipulators).
- They are more expensive than standard manipulators however.
- They require a specific design time and their availability is longer than if you buy an “out of the box” manipulator.
