Severe-Duty Robot and Manipulator

ACTION Robots and Manipulators are customer-configured to suit both production and site requirements.  Modular design provides flexibility in installation.  The parallelogram boom allow maximum horizontal and vertical reach while maintaining stability and a large useful payload capacity, even at full reach.  360° rotation assures a large working envelope.

Four Control Options:

Four levels of control sophistication are available: simple levers, joystick, "master-slave" pantograph or fully robotic control.

 

High-Performance Hydraulic Features

Lock valves for safety, extra filtration, positive direct drive pumps and anti-leak circuits are standard.  Options include closed center circuits, short path servo-valve assemblies and oversize pumps with accumulator.

Flexible Modular Construction

You choose tooling, mounting, control cab and hydraulic power unit location that suits your production and installation requirements.

Robots:

Over 20 years experience in demanding industrial applications has produced robots with a unique combination of advanced control and rugged, reliable construction.  Only Action Robots withstand the heat, dust, vibration and battering of heavy industry-yet still deliver precise handling performance.  

Robot advantages:

  • Large work envelope
  • No telescoping joints
  • High speed operation: to 1500mm/sec
  • High reliability hydraulics
  • Custom tooling designs
  • Easy installation 
  • Easy maintenance 

Action Robots perform hazardous, repetitive and precise tasks impossible under manual control.  Robots shown on this page include units to handle hot billet in a forge and mold handling in an investment casting plant. 

Manipulators:

Action Manipulators like those shown here are valuable in handling castings, large molds, billets, ingots or other hot and heavy load.  Installation have included twin, rail mounted, or overhead mounted units in forges, foundries, mills, marine applications, waste material handing and much more.

When precise operator control is required for picking, placing, pushing, rotating, dipping or hanging large payloads, choose an Action Manipulator.  These units provide the same rugged features and precision-engineering as our robots but put an operator in the controls to handle variable or random handling situations.  In hundreds of installations, Action Manipulators provide effective solutions to tough problems.  

Manipulator advantages:
  • Vibration and heat resistant construction
  • Rugged wrist and boom design
  • High Speed, high-power hydraulic power
  • Load leveling boom geometry
  • Strong, stable boom design
  • No telescoping joints
  • Lifts to 7,000 kg-reach to 10 meter
