Industrial Manipulator is very widely used device in Automation, it is an essential motion subsystem component of robotic system for positioning, orientating object so that robot can perform useful task in automation.
Manipulator arm provides for exact positioning due to free, almost effortless horizontal and vertical movement, constant support and positive control at all times.
Operator functions as a guide in the control system.
This promotes fast and precise 3-dimensional handling with minimal force required by the operator to overcome the inertia of the load being handled.
In industrial ergonomics a manipulator is a lift-assist device used to help workers lift, maneuver and place articles in process that are too heavy, too hot, too large or otherwise too difficult for a single worker to manually handle.
