Improve Reel Handling with Industrial Manipulators

Industrial Manipulators
Handling reels, whether they are made of paper, film, foil, or cable, can be tough, especially when they are large, heavy, or delicate. In many industries, workers face challenges moving these reels safely and efficiently. Poor handling can lead to injuries, product damage, and downtime. That’s where industrial manipulators come in.

These tools simplify reel handling, making it more ergonomic and much safer. With the right manipulator, your team can lift, rotate, tilt, and move reels of various sizes without strain or risk.

Why Use Industrial Manipulators for Reels?

Reels are not always easy to manage. Some are bulky and heavy; others are delicate and need precise control. Using manual labour for such tasks can cause muscle strain, errors, and even product breakage. However, with industrial manipulators for reels, you can:

  • Lift reels safely – Whether the reel is 5 kg or 900 kg, manipulators handle the weight using compressed air, reducing physical effort.
  • Rotate or tilt reels easily – Some operations require reels to be tilted or turned. Dalmec manipulators offer smooth movement and control for accurate positioning.
  • Minimise product damage – Delicate reels made of film, foil, or paper can get damaged if mishandled. Our tools offer stable, secure gripping solutions that keep reels intact.
  • Improve productivity – Operators can handle more in less time, reducing downtime and making the workflow smoother.

Designed for Real Industrial Needs

Dalmec offers a wide range of custom solutions designed specifically for reel handling. Whether your operation involves vertical or horizontal reel positioning, lifting from pallets, or direct machine loading, our manipulators can adapt.

Each unit is equipped with customised gripping tools to meet different application needs. The modular structures are engineered to resist torsional stress, ensuring safety even when handling reels with uneven weight distribution.
