Case Study: Ergonomic Bag & Sack Handling with an Industrial Manipulator

HB Torque's application portfolio includes bag and package handling installations using industrial manipulators to assist repetitive lifting, transfer and positioning tasks.

Application overview

Bagged and packaged loads can require repeated transfer between pickup and placement points. The handling system is configured around the actual package geometry, pickup position, working path and destination.

The handling challenge

The objective is to reduce direct manual lifting while allowing the operator to guide and position the load at the workstation. End-effector selection depends on the bag or package shape, available gripping surfaces and required movement.

Solution approach

An operator-guided industrial manipulator can provide assisted lifting and controlled positioning. Tooling is customized around the workpiece and process rather than selected from a generic lifting point.

Engineering inputs for selection

For application review, provide the package weight, dimensions, material or surface condition, pickup height, placement height, working radius, required orientation and workstation photos or drawings.
