Pneumatic Vertical Lifting Manipulator – ATISlinear

ATISlinear is a pneumatic industrial manipulator designed for the precise vertical handling of large, heavy or awkward components.

Its rigid linear-guide movement keeps the load aligned throughout vertical travel, helping to minimise oscillation and provide accurate operator-controlled positioning during lifting, transfer and placement.

Load capacity up to 800 kg

Precise linear vertical movement

Suitable for centred and offset loads

Precise Vertical Handling with Minimal Operator Effort

The combination of a rigid linear guide and active pneumatic balancing allows large components to be lifted and positioned smoothly across demanding industrial working areas.

Linear-Guide Precision

Rigid guided movement maintains alignment during vertical travel and supports precise load positioning.

Wide Area Coverage

An overhead travelling arrangement allows the manipulator to serve extended production and assembly areas.

Pneumatic Balancing

Active pneumatic balancing supports the load and reduces the physical effort required from the operator.

Tailored Gripping Tools

Each system can be supplied with gripping equipment designed around the product and required movement.

A Manipulator Configured Around the Application

ATISlinear is not divided into a fixed range of standard models. Each system is configured around the load, vertical travel, available headroom, operating area, plant structure and gripping requirements of the application.

Product and Load

The manipulator is selected around the weight, dimensions, shape, surface and centre of gravity of the component being handled.

Required Movement

Vertical stroke, horizontal travel, positioning accuracy and any rotation or tilting movements are determined by the handling cycle.

Working Environment

The overhead structure and travel arrangement are developed around the available space, existing equipment and number of workstations.

How ATISlinear Works

Rigid Vertical Movement

The load moves vertically along a rigid linear guide rather than hanging freely from a rope or chain.

Aligned vertical movement
Reduced load oscillation
Accurate picking and positioning
Suitable for confined or obstructed areas
Controlled handling of bulky components

Active Pneumatic Balancing

The pneumatic system balances the weight of the product, allowing the operator to guide it with considerably less physical effort.

Smooth operator-controlled movement
Support throughout the handling cycle
Reduced manual handling effort
Responsive load positioning
No electrical power required for standard operation

Installation Configurations

The overhead installation keeps the production floor clear while allowing the manipulator to travel between handling positions.

Sliding Overhead Rails

Rail-mounted installation for smooth movement across an extended production or assembly area.

Overhead Crane Installation

Integration with a suitable overhead crane arrangement for longitudinal and transverse area coverage.

Application-Specific Travel

The vertical movement and overhead travel are configured around the pick-up and release positions.

ATISlinear Configurations and Applications

Every installation is developed around the product, production process and available working area.

Precision Vertical Handling

Rigid guided movement for accurate lifting and positioning.

Overhead Working-Area Coverage

Travelling configurations for production lines and extended work areas.

Industrial Handling Applications

Solutions configured for large, heavy and difficult-to-handle components.

Custom Gripping Configuration

Purpose-designed handling equipment developed around the individual load.

Typical Applications

ATISlinear is suitable for industries where heavy or bulky components must be moved vertically and positioned with a high level of control.

Metalworking

Handling large fabricated or machined components.

Sheet-Metal Processing

Controlled movement and positioning of sheet-metal products.

Industrial Assembly

Accurate presentation of components during assembly operations.

Heavy Components

Pneumatically balanced movement of heavy or oversized loads.

Production-Line Transfer

Movement between different production and processing positions.

Restricted Work Areas

Vertical handling where obstacles or limited manoeuvring space are present.

Custom Gripping Systems

The gripping tool is designed around the size, weight, shape, surface and centre of gravity of the item being handled.

Depending on the application, ATISlinear may be equipped with vacuum gripping, pneumatic clamps, mechanical gripping tools, expanding devices, forks, hooks or another purpose-designed attachment.

The manipulator, gripping tool and supporting overhead system are engineered as one complete handling solution.
