Custom-made technology
The configuration possibilities of Dalmec products are really numerous, starting from the type of installation. The “auto-stable” baseplate ensures stability and safety without foundation work, allowing the customer to move the manipulator inside the workshop simply using a forklift. Alternatively, the manipulator can be installed on a track, which can be mounted on the floor or overhead. The weight capacity of Dalmec solutions can reach 1,500 kg, thus allowing a single operator to quickly and safely carry out activities that in the past required more people. There are three gripping systems available: suction cups, gripping tools or magnets. “Suction cups are the most common solution, but you have to be very careful what type of suction cup to choose. In some processes, in fact, the sheet can exceed 60° C, and this requires the use of suction cups with a suitable compound, which maintains its characteristics even at these temperatures.
