Parallelogram manipulators

A combination of pneumatic hoists with parallelograms, our range of parallelogram manipulators is a gravity-defying solution that enables the equalization of torsional forces.

Our parallelogram manipulators come with a standard working radius of up to 3200 mm, but can be adjusted to suit the task at hand.

The optimized cross section and low dead weight of our compact parallelogram manipulators make it suitable for light-weight applications.
