Dalmec has been building industrial manipulators since 1963. Every system is designed and manufactured at its facility in Cles, Italy, by engineers who work exclusively in this field. That depth of focus over six decades is why Dalmec operates across more than 40 countries, with tens of thousands of installations running in industrial facilities worldwide.
In Australia and New Zealand, every Dalmec manipulator is supplied, installed, and supported by VLM, the exclusive local distributor. More than 650 systems have been installed across Australian and New Zealand workplace, every state and territory covered, with local expertise behind everyone.
Over 650 Dalmec systems installed across Australian and New Zealand workplaces.
The Dalmec range covers 11 manipulator models spanning 10kg to 1,500kg capacity. Available in floor, overhead, and overhead trolley-mounted configurations, every model can be positioned to suit the layout of your facility.
Every model is supplied with custom tooling designed around the specific product being handled, from suction cups for sheet glass and cartons to mechanical grippers for drums, pails, and structural components.
All Dalmec systems are certified to EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE and manufactured under EN ISO 9001:2008 quality management standards. For businesses managing WHS obligations, every installation is a documented engineering control, sitting above administrative controls in the hierarchy of controls and defensible under the WHS Act.
Rigid arm manipulators are designed for stable, controlled handling where precise positioning matters. They are ideal for heavier or off-centre loads and applications requiring rotation, tilting, and exact placement.
Choosing the right system starts with understanding your task. Both product families are purely pneumatic and custom-engineered, but they are designed for different types of handling.
A rigid-arm manipulator is the right choice when your load needs to be tilted, rotated, or precisely positioned during the handling cycle. Loads that are heavy, off-centre, or irregular in shape, tasks that require multi-axis movement, and applications where placement accuracy matters are all suited to the manipulator range. Industrial manipulators handle loads from 6kg to 1,500kg and are mounted to a fixed column, overhead rail, or floor structure depending on your layout.
A cable balancer is suited to lighter or more balanced loads that follow a simple up-and-down handling path. When the task is high-frequency vertical transfer and the load does not require tilting, rotating, or complex positioning, a balancer delivers efficient, low-fatigue handling at a lower capital cost than a full rigid-arm manipulator. When the task is straightforward vertical transfer and the load is consistent in shape and weight, a cable balancer is the right tool for the job.

These rules are applied to the activities involving the manual handling of loads with risks to the operators of injuries to the back.
The workplace must be fitted with proper means to reduce the risks deriving from the manual handling of loads.
When it is not possible to avoid the manual handling of the loads (lifting, pushing, drawing, transport), the employer must provide the worker with suitable means to reduce the risks deriving from these operations.
Limit values for the lifting of loads:
There are coefficients of reduction of the limit values, which consider:
The installation of mechanical arms also for weights lower than 30 kg, enables the operator to:
Transform a task that previously required two or three individuals into a one-person operation.
Achieve a more sustainable workload for operators.
Minimise work-related fatigue and stress.
Simplify or promote job rotation, encouraging a safer and more satisfying work environment.
Turn a two or three-person job into a one-person job.
Greater sustainable work level from operator.
Reduce work fatigue and stress
Eliminate or facilitate job rotation
Two critical components of successful manufacturing are precise and safe movement.
Dalmec’s manipulators and material handling devices meet strict safety standards and are built with the protection of the user in mind, ensuring high-quality, long-lasting machines that are customized to meet customers’ unique needs.
