Fuel tank manipulator

The manipulator for fuel tanks mounting is a semi-automatic device for mounting tanks from the bottom of the car. First of all, the operator selects the correct type of the tank and places metal strips in the designated places in the manipulator's basket, which are used to fasten the tank to the bodywork. Then he takes the tank from the conveyor next to the line. These arrive on the conveyor in the correct sequence to be correctly matched to passing cars. After removing it, the operator guides the manipulator to the right place using the positioning mechanism, and the manipulator itself presses the tank from below to the bodywork. After that, the operator attaches the tank at four points using the prepared welder and screws and disconnects it downwards from the car bodywork, ending the process.

Project type Single-purpose devices

Interesting facts

The manufactured gripping part of the manipulator can be adjusted to 7 types of fuel tanks. The device is controlled strictly pneumatically – without using electronics. 30 pneumatic cylinders are used to reset parts of the manipulator so that fuel tanks of various shapes can be mounted.
