Handling wood and large furnishing components is not just a heavy-duty task, it also comes with risks. From sharp edges and awkward shapes to sheer weight, manual handling in woodworking and furniture manufacturing can lead to fatigue, damaged products, and serious musculoskeletal injuries. That’s where a reliable industrial manipulator makes all the difference.
Making Wood Handling Safer and Smoother
Industrial workplaces often involve lifting raw timber, processed boards, panels, or assembled furnishings. These items can be bulky, unevenly shaped, and difficult to move manually. Even experienced workers face strain when trying to position these materials accurately. Over time, repetitive motions and poor ergonomics can cause long-term health issues.
A pneumatic industrial manipulator simplifies these tasks. It supports and balances the load while allowing the operator to move it effortlessly up, down, or side to side, without physical strain. This results in greater safety, better accuracy, and faster workflows.
Introducing Maxipartner for Heavy Loads
For wood components or large furnishing items, the Dalmec Maxipartner manipulator offers outstanding lifting capability, handling up to 900 kg with ease. It features a specially shaped gripping tool that allows precise alignment, rotation, and tilting, ensuring the load is safely and accurately positioned, even in tight or complex spaces. The customisable end arm adapts to your operational layout, making it ideal for versatile manufacturing environments.
Designed for Precision and Control
Each industrial manipulator is custom-fitted with gripping tools suited to your materials, whether you are lifting flat wood panels, long beams, or furniture frames. These tools may use clamps or adjustable mechanical grips, depending on the shape and surface.
This allows the operator to:
- Rotate or tilt wooden panels for assembly or inspection
- Move furnishings from one station to another without scratching or damaging them
- Load heavy boards into cutting or CNC machines with exact placement
When the load feels nearly weightless, tasks become faster and far more ergonomic.
Applications Across the Wood and Furniture Sector
Whether you are manufacturing kitchen cabinets, timber doors, tables, or upholstered items, lifting is part of the process. Dalmec industrial manipulators offer real advantages for:
- Wood processing plants – handling raw or cut timber
- Furniture assembly lines – moving large pieces without collision or delay
- Joinery workshops – positioning heavy boards for cutting or fixing
- Warehouse operations – stacking and sorting finished wooden products
We have helped multiple businesses with custom manipulators tailored to their specific needs.
