Solutions for the Aerospace Sector
Dalmec Australia provides advanced manipulators that remove manual lifting, reduce WHS risks and improve workflow efficiency across food processing, packaging and agricultural warehouses.
Smarter, Safer Material Handling for Aerospace Manufacturing
Dalmec aerospace industry manipulators let a single operator lift, rotate, tilt and position aircraft components, composite panels, avionics equipment and precision assemblies without manual load bearing, across aerospace manufacturing, assembly and maintenance facilities. Each unit is custom engineered around the specific component, the assembly or maintenance task required, and the facility layout, with gripping tooling designed to handle high-value, precision-critical parts without marking or damaging them. Every installation is documented as an engineering control under Australia’s Work Health and Safety Act, and because Dalmec manipulators run entirely on compressed air, they operate reliably around sensitive avionics and electronic systems without introducing electrical interference.
FAQ
Are Dalmec manipulators suitable for aerospace manufacturing and assembly?
Yes. Dalmec manipulators are designed for the precision, control and careful handling aerospace manufacturing requires, letting one operator position high-value components accurately without manual strain or risk of damage.
What aerospace components can Dalmec manipulators handle?
Common applications include aircraft components and fuselage sections, composite panels and structures, avionics equipment and modules, precision assemblies, and specialised tooling. Dalmec engineers custom gripping tooling around the exact component for secure, precise handling.
Can a Dalmec manipulator safely handle sensitive avionics and electronic equipment?
Yes. Because Dalmec manipulators run entirely on compressed air with no electrical motors or control electronics in the arm, they can be positioned close to avionics equipment and electronic modules without interference risk.
How does a Dalmec manipulator improve precision when handling aerospace assemblies?
A Dalmec manipulator holds the load continuously balanced in three dimensions, giving the operator fine, repeatable control over lift, tilt, rotation and placement — precision that suits careful alignment tasks such as fuselage sections, composite structures and avionics modules.
6 Key Reasons Why Australian Companies Have Chosen Dalmec Zero Gravity Load Handling
Your operators guide the load. Dalmec carries it.
Every manipulator keeps the load in a pneumatically balanced state, allowing operators to lift, rotate and accurately position aerospace components with complete control and virtually zero physical effort.
Designed and Built in Italy
Every Dalmec manipulator is engineered and manufactured in Cles, Italy. With more than 90,000 installations worldwide since 1963, Dalmec remains the original manufacturer and global leader in pneumatic manipulation technology.
Eliminate Manual Handling Injuries
Large aerospace components and repetitive assembly tasks can expose workers to unnecessary physical strain. Dalmec removes the weight from the task, helping reduce hazardous manual handling risks and improve workplace safety.
Retain Your Best People
Removing physically demanding lifting tasks enables experienced technicians and engineers to work more comfortably and maintain consistent performance throughout every shift.
Reduce Hiring and Training Costs
Safer workstations and improved ergonomics contribute to lower staff turnover and reduce the ongoing costs of recruiting and training replacement personnel.
Australian-Based, Nationwide Support
Dalmec provides installation, commissioning and technical support throughout Australia and New Zealand, backed by decades of engineering expertise and extensive local experience.
