Mova Box–Handling Manipulator Arm

Given that boxes can be made from various materials and come in different sizes and strengths, each type of box may necessitate a unique box-handling solution. To address these diverse requirements, Mova offers a customized manipulator for box handling. From grippers solutions to various types of box lifters, Mova ensures that each client can find the most suitable equipment tailored to their specific operational needs.

Overall, Mova box-handling manipulators arm are primarily divided into two types. One type is equipped with mechanical grippers, and the other type is equipped with vacuum suction cups. In fact, you don’t need to worry about how to choose your manipulator arm for box handling. When customizing manipulators for clients, Mova engineers will provide the most suitable solution based on actual conditions, such as the weight of the boxes and stacking requirements.

How a Manipulator Improves the Box Handling Process

Perhaps you still do not understand how a box-handling manipulator arm saves labor and improves efficiency in the box handling process. Before I explain its operational workflow, please allow me to briefly introduce the basic structure of an industrial manipulator. The structure of an industrial manipulator includes the following parts:

(1) The column section, which uses a high-strength structure to bear the entire weight

(2) The main control box section, where the power drive of the manipulator, impact resistance device, and pneumatic control system is centralized

(3) The main arm and The auxiliary arm

(4) The operating handle, which people use to control the gripper

(5) The gripper, which responds to gripping and moving the boxes

It is important to emphasize that box-handling manipulator arms are not fully automatic devices. When using it to handle boxes, an operator is required to control the grippers via buttons located on the operating handle. Once it is confirmed that the grippers have securely grasped the cardboard box, the operator then uses the handle to lift and transfer the cardboard box.

Throughout this cardboard box-handling process, the operator doesn’t need to exert any physical effort; a mere press of the buttons with their fingers is sufficient to move cardboard boxes weighing up to 300kg.

Why choose the Mova manipulator arms for box handling

Efficient cardboard box handling is pivotal in a myriad of industries, from logistics and distribution to manufacturing. Overall, there are four common methods of handling cardboard boxes currently in use:

1. Pure manual handling
2. Traditional cardboard boxlifter
3. cardboard boxhandling manipulator
4. Automated robotic arm

Each of these four methods of box handling has its own advantages, but if you are on a limited budget and want to improve the efficiency of box handling, then a box handling manipulator will be your best choice. The following article will provide a detailed comparison of these four methods, explaining why choosing a box manipulator is the right decision.

Box handling manipulator arms V.S. Pure manual handling

Prolonged and frequent handling of heavy box objects can cause significant harm to workers’ lumbar spines and joint health, while also posing a high safety risk. Additionally, the efficiency of heavy lifting decreases as workers become fatigued. For overweight products (over 50kg), a single lift might require two people, increasing transportation costs.

If equipped with a manipulator for box handling, one person could handle boxes weighing up to 300kg without any impact on the worker’s health, and without the efficiency being affected by excessive fatigue.

Box handling manipulator arms V.S. Traditional box lifter

Traditional box lifters are generally small carts with a lifting function, where operators can place heavy box items on it for vertical lifting, and then push the cart to another location. Although this method can save labor to some extent, it is quite inefficient and the operating process is very inconvenient.

Mova box handling manipulator offers another type of mechanical-assisted transport. It functions like a giant mechanical arm, allowing workers to control it to grasp boxes. Within a 4-meter radius using the column as the pivot, it can freely move heavy objects much like swinging one’s own arm.

Box handling manipulator arms V.S. Automated robotic arm

Some people might think that fully automatic manipulators can completely eliminate the need for human intervention and perform box-handling tasks more quickly and efficiently. However, the reality is that fully automated manipulators require a high budget and long design cycles. Once programmed, these fully automated manipulators can only operate on fixed production lines and incur high maintenance costs.

The Mova box handling manipulator does not have these issues. Although it relies on a certain degree of manual operation, it also means lower customization costs and higher operational flexibility. For example, a box-handling manipulator can be designed to be mobile, easily moved around within a factory, and stationed anywhere that requires assistance with box handling.
