Industrial Manipulator TechnologiesFuture Production Solutions

An industrial manipulator is an automation solution used to safely and ergonomically transport, lift and position materials in production processes. Soyerpek manufactures various types of manipulators with pneumatic, electric and servo motor technologies.

Soyerpek serves the automotive, foundry, plastic injection, cable manufacturing and white goods industries. We provide custom design solutions to leading companies such as Ford, TOGG, and Tofaş.

Soyerpek produces pneumatic manipulators, electric manipulators, servo motor manipulators, vacuum lifting systems, magnetic lifters and industrial grippers. Each product can be designed according to the customer's specific needs.

Soyerpek's main references include Ford Otosan, TOGG, Tofaş, Atlas Copco, Nexans and BSH. We have completed more than 200 successful projects since 2018.

Yes, Soyerpek designs and manufactures manipulators for customers' specific needs with its TÜBİTAK-supported R&D center. Our technical team develops the most suitable solution for each project.

The manipulator working principle is based on applying an upward force against gravity, exactly equal to the material's weight. Through this 'zero-weight' technology, the manipulator system makes the material virtually weightless. The operator can guide the material with gram-level forces and perform precise positioning. Pneumatic manipulators use compressed air, electric manipulators use electric motors, and servo motor manipulators use precise servo motors to apply this force. They typically operate through the operator's physical guidance without button controls.

The fundamental difference between a manipulator and an industrial robot is the control method. Manipulators are physically guided by operators and provide ergonomic handling by nullifying the material's weight. Industrial robots automatically repeat programmed movements. Manipulators are ideal for flexible tasks requiring quick adaptation and human skill. Robots are suitable for repetitive, standard tasks. Manipulator prices are generally more economical than industrial robots.

Whether to choose a pneumatic or electric manipulator depends on application requirements. Pneumatic manipulators work with compressed air, are economical, easy to maintain, and explosion-proof - ideal for chemical and food industries. Electric manipulators offer more precise control, higher load capacity, and energy efficiency - suitable for heavy metalworking and precise assembly. Servo motor manipulators are the best option for applications requiring the highest precision and repeatability. Soyerpek offers manipulator solutions in all three technologies.

What is a manipulator? A manipulator is an industrial automation device used to ergonomically and safely handle heavy loads in production processes. The term 'manipulator' comes from Latin 'manus' (hand) and means to operate or control by hand. Industrial manipulators apply an upward force equal to the material's weight, nullifying its weight and allowing operators to move heavy loads as if weightless. Soyerpek manufactures pneumatic, electric, and servo motor manipulators with TÜBİTAK-supported zero-weight technology.

Manipulator prices vary based on lifting capacity (50kg-300kg range), technology type (pneumatic, electric, servo motor), working area, and custom design requirements. Pneumatic manipulators are generally more economical, while servo motor manipulators are priced higher due to their precision. Soyerpek offers custom price quotes for your business needs.
