Industrial Manipulators with electromechanical drive (SHBM-250-M) are designed for safe, precise, and ergonomic lifting and handling of heavy loads weighing up to 250 kg. The equipment combines an electromechanical lifting mechanism with a reinforced balanced articulated structure, allowing the operator to move loads smoothly and accurately with minimal physical effort.
Purpose and Design Features
The SHBM-250-M manipulator is intended for industrial applications where high positioning accuracy, repeatability, and operator comfort are required when handling heavy loads. The model is suitable for production areas, assembly stations, machine servicing zones, and workplaces with restricted overhead access where conventional cable lifting systems, cranes, or hoists are difficult to use.
The reinforced structure allows the manipulator to operate reliably with loads weighing up to 250 kg while maintaining smooth and controlled movement. The articulated boom consists of a main and secondary arm balanced by a spring system. This design enables horizontal load movement with virtually no effort from the operator: the weight of the load is compensated, and only the inertia of the object needs to be overcome at the start of movement.
Standardization and Compatibility with Grippers
The SHBM-250-M can be fitted with interchangeable load-handling devices specified in the technical requirements. The rigid mounting system ensures secure load holding during operation and makes the manipulator suitable for handling loads of various shapes and sizes, including non-standard products, long components, and complex-shaped objects.
Gripper replacement is performed quickly and does not require special tools or structural modifications. This makes the manipulator a versatile solution for production sites where different types of loads are handled within the same working area.
Control System
The model is equipped with an electromechanical control system. Vertical movement is performed by a gear motor with an electromagnetic brake and a variable frequency drive (VFD), providing smooth speed control and reliable load positioning.
Direction and speed are controlled with one hand using a handle mounted on the gripper head. When the handle is tilted upward or downward, the load starts moving in the corresponding direction, while the movement speed depends on the tilt angle. When released, the handle automatically returns to the neutral position, and the load is fixed at the current height.
The control system is intuitive and suitable for one-hand operation. Operator training usually takes no more than a few hours.
Manipulator Structure
The SHBM-250-M includes the following main components:
- Drive head — mounted on a rotary support structure and provides full 360° boom rotation around the vertical axis. All rotating units are mounted on rolling bearings, ensuring smooth and stable movement even under full load.
- Articulated boom — consists of a main and secondary arm balanced by a spring system. Radial load movement takes place horizontally with virtually no effort from the operator.
- Gripper head — located at the end of the boom, capable of rotating around the vertical axis, and equipped with a rigid mounting interface for interchangeable load-handling devices. The control handle on the head allows the operator to control vertical movement and guide horizontal movement.
- Lifting drive — based on a rack-and-pinion lifting mechanism, gear motor, electromagnetic brake, and variable frequency drive. This system provides precise and smooth lifting and lowering.
- Protection system — includes limit switches that monitor end-of-travel positions, self-diagnostics, overload protection, and an emergency stop button located in the control area.
Additional features:
- Status indicators for variable frequency drive operating modes, power connection, and overload status.
- One-hand operation capability for convenient handling and quick operator adaptation.
- Synchronized operation of several manipulators for handling long loads such as pipes, rails, and beams.
- Cantilevered load attachment for servicing equipment with protruding elements, including furnaces, presses, machine tools, and suspended containers.
- Quick gripper replacement without special tools.
The SHBM-250-M manipulator is designed for intensive industrial operation where high positioning accuracy, safe handling, and minimal operator fatigue are required.
