Electromechanical Material Handling Solutions

Industrial Manipulators for Electrical and Electronic Components

The electromechanical sector covers a wide variety of products—ranging from televisions, washing machines, and air conditioners to electrical appliances and complex electronic assemblies. These items often come in bulky, heavy, or awkward shapes that require precise handling to prevent damage during production, assembly, or packaging. Manual lifting can slow down operations and pose risks of strain or injury to operators, making efficient and ergonomic handling systems essential.

Dalmec industrial manipulators provide a reliable solution by offering smooth, weight-balanced movement and custom gripping devices tailored to the unique shapes and sizes of electromechanical products. Whether positioning TV tubes, lifting washing machines, or transferring delicate electrical components, our manipulators ensure safe, precise, and efficient handling. Each system is engineered to improve productivity, reduce manual effort, and guarantee consistent quality across your production line.

Challenges in Electromechanical Material Handling

The electromechanical industry involves handling a wide variety of loads, from large household appliances and heavy air conditioning units to fragile electronic assemblies and TV tubes. These products are often bulky, awkwardly shaped, or highly delicate, which makes manual lifting both inefficient and risky. Even small handling errors can result in scratches, dents, or internal damage, leading to costly rework or product loss.

Operators also face ergonomic challenges, as repetitive lifting of heavy or oversized items increases the risk of musculoskeletal strain and workplace injuries. At the same time, manufacturers must maintain high production speed and accuracy to remain competitive. Balancing safety, efficiency, and precision in these environments requires specialised manipulators that can adapt to different product geometries while ensuring both operator protection and product integrity.
