HB Torque Bag & Package Handling Industrial Manipulator | Ergonomic Sack Lifter

HB Torque Bag & Package Handling Industrial Manipulator

This complete engineered handling system helps operators lift, balance, transfer, and position sacks, bags, cartons, and packaged materials. The solution combines an articulated manipulator arm, balancing control, operator controls, and an end effector selected around the actual package and process.

Typical Applications

• Picking sacks and bags from pallets or floor level.
• Transferring packaged raw materials between process stations.
• Feeding bags into production or packaging equipment.
• Loading, unloading, palletizing, and repetitive workstation handling.

Tooling Selected for the Real Package

There is no universal bag gripper. HB Torque evaluates package weight and dimensions, film or woven material, surface texture, porosity, stiffness, sealing, stability, pickup orientation, required rotation, and placement accuracy before selecting the handling method.

• Vacuum tooling: considered for suitable sealed or low-porosity surfaces.
• Mechanical gripping: considered where suction is unsuitable or the package requires controlled support.
• Purpose-built fixtures: engineered for cartons, unusual package geometry, or special handling sequences.

Complete System Scope

The delivered concept can include the support column or mounting structure, articulated balancing arm, controls, operator handle, hoses and services, and package-specific end effector. Final configuration is confirmed after application review.

Information Needed for Selection

• Package weight, dimensions, material, and surface condition.
• Pickup source: pallet, conveyor, floor, hopper, or process equipment.
• Pickup and placement heights, required working area, and available installation space.
• Handling sequence, orientation or rotation needs, and throughput expectations.
• Photos or video of the package and current workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one system handle different bag types?

Possibly, but the package range must be reviewed. Changes in size, surface, porosity, fill level, and stability may require adjustable tooling, interchangeable end effectors, or a different pickup method.

Is the end effector customized?

Yes. The end effector is selected or engineered around the actual package and operating sequence instead of assuming one fixed tool.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send package data, pickup and placement details, required movements, available space, and clear workstation photos. HB Torque can then evaluate the arm, mounting method, and tooling concept.
