Too many to choose from?
Let us help you pick the right one. Just tell us:

We will help you pick the optimal main unit, pedestal, end effector and the operation method for your specific application.

Tell us
  1. What process you want to improve.
  2. Shape, weight and type of load to be transported.
  3. Site layout including ceiling height, workpiece travel range, etc.

In Japan, you can try out our manipulators and actually feel the difference.

Customization can be done for special environments such as clean rooms!
For food and other applications that require clean room conditions, our best option is the electric Balaman that uses low-dust parts. The pneumatic Balaman also can be used with a centralized exhaust system.
For explosion-proof requirements such as use in chemical plants, we propose the pneumatic Balaman, which does not use electricity.
Heat-resistant specifications are available for high-temperature areas such as heat treatment processes for metal parts.

By all means, contact us if you are interested.

What are your challenges?

Do you need to save labor and improve working conditions?

We have to move gallon bottles that weigh 12kg per gallon.
Even holding one is heavy and difficult, but moving them one at a time is very inefficient.
We need a better, more efficient way!

This is the kind of process where Balaman makes it easy.
We design the end effector specifically for such an application, so one to 4 gallon bottles can be transferred at once.

What are your challenges?

We manufacture glass used in the display of smartphones and other devices.
Can you safely transport a large piece of glass, several meters square, before sending it to the manufacturer?

That's what Balaman does best !
Large, heavy glass panels can be easily and safely moved to equipment or other locations. We also offer a variety of vacuum suction end effectors that allow for rotating the workpiece.

What are your challenges?

We are a construction materials company that manufactures exterior decorative elements.
A 3-m size on either side of L-shaped decorative laminate material is inspected and sorted into groups after a pass/fail test.
This process required a couple of people. Is there a way to reduce the number of people required for this process?

Let Balaman reduce your labor needs!
Using a Balaman, you can easily and smoothly reduce the number of people required to do the job. You can equip the Balaman with the right end effector to move oddly shaped material and boards either horizontally or vertically using vacuum suction.

What are your challenges?

We will listen to all your problems and help you find the right specifications and installation method for your Balaman to match your working conditions and solve all your problems.
