HB Torque EV Battery Pack Handling Manipulator | Zero-Gravity Lift-Assist System

HB Torque EV Battery Pack Handling Manipulator

This zero-gravity lift-assist system is engineered to help an operator lift, balance, transfer, tilt, and accurately position EV battery packs and other large automotive components. The featured configuration combines a floor-mounted column, articulated balancing arm, operator controls, and battery-pack-specific mechanical tooling.

Typical EV Assembly Applications

• Transferring battery packs between carts, fixtures, and assembly stations.
• Controlled positioning during battery-pack installation.
• Tilting or rotating a pack for inspection, assembly, or service access.
• Handling large automotive components where guided operator control is required.

Tooling Built Around the Battery Pack

EV battery packs differ in enclosure geometry, weight distribution, structural edges, lifting interfaces, and permitted contact areas. HB Torque reviews the real pack before defining the mechanical fixture, support points, control arrangement, and movement sequence.

• Pack geometry: overall size, enclosure shape, clearances, and obstructions.
• Stable gripping points: approved support or engagement locations.
• Center of gravity: required for balanced lifting and controlled orientation.
• Process motion: horizontal pickup, transfer, rotation or tilt, and final placement.

Complete Handling-System Scope

The engineered concept can include the mounting structure, articulated balancing arm, pneumatic assist and service routing, operator handle and controls, and a custom end-of-arm fixture. The mounting and travel arrangement are selected from the actual production layout rather than assumed from one standard configuration.

Information Needed for Selection

• Battery-pack weight, dimensions, drawings, and center of gravity.
• Approved gripping or support points and restricted contact areas.
• Pickup and placement heights, orientations, and required accuracy.
• Required transfer path, rotation or tilt, and cycle sequence.
• Available floor space, surrounding equipment, and workstation layout.
• Photos or video of the pack and production area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the tooling be customized for our battery pack?

Yes. The mechanical fixture is developed around the pack geometry, approved engagement points, center of gravity, and required handling sequence.

Can the system tilt or rotate a battery pack?

Controlled orientation can be evaluated when the required angle, pack data, center of gravity, clearances, and placement method are provided.

Is this limited to one mounting arrangement?

No single mounting concept fits every line. The featured product uses a floor-column arrangement, while the final support and travel concept should be selected from the real workstation layout and required movement.
