Suspended pneumatic cantilever manipulators were selected at NEFAZ among many equipment options. They speed up bus assembly and improve working conditions for employees. So far, there are only three manipulator robots: two on the glazing section and one on the assembly line, installing large windshields on buses.
All manipulator robots are of domestic production, they were designed, developed and manufactured by DALMEK-RUS LLC by order of automakers.
The peculiarity of the installed manipulators is that 80% of the manipulator components are manufactured at the company's own enterprises, but at the same time they are standard and replaceable with analogues of other brands. The manipulators are convenient and unpretentious in operation, since they operate exclusively from a compressed air system, while having in their design all safety systems that exclude poor-quality gripping, dropping of cargo in the event of an emergency shutdown of air or a break in any circuit.
The innovation has greatly facilitated and simplified production. Prior to this, workers at NEFAZ had to manually install up to 29 glasses on one bus, the largest of which, according to the company, has dimensions of 1710x1980 mm and a weight of 78.5 kg.
