Jib Crane Manipulator

A manipulator is a versatile lifting device with a rotating horizontal arm (jib/boom) mounted on a column or wall, used with hoists and specialized end-effectors (grippers, vacuum lifters) for precise, repetitive material handling in limited work areas, reducing operator fatigue and improving efficiency in manufacturing. Its key features include radial movement, load balancing (pneumatic or electric), adjustable reach, and 360-degree rotation, making it ideal for tasks like machine loading, assembly, and palletizing.
