Mounting Bracket/Manipulator

The mounting bracket/manipulator is a critical component of spraying stations that provides stable mounting for spray nozzles, tools, or workpieces while enabling precise positioning and movement control during coating, painting, or surface treatment processes. It combines a rigid structural bracket with a manipulator mechanism that may be manual, pneumatic, or motorized, allowing controlled movement along specified axes to position spray targets accurately relative to the spray source. The component is typically fabricated from stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or carbon steel, with material selection depending on the application environment and required strength. Key parameters include a rated load capacity of 50–200 kg, a reach of 800–2000 mm, positioning accuracy of ±0.1–±0.5 mm (per ISO 9283), rotation range of ±180°, operating pressure of 0.4–0.8 MPa, operating temperature of -10 to 60 °C, protection class IP54–IP65 (per IEC 60529), and a mounting interface per ISO 9409-1. The degree of freedom ranges from 4 to 6, and maximum speed is 1.0–2.0 m/s. Total weight is 15–60 kg. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application. The component is used in spraying stations for tasks such as coating, painting, or surface treatment, where precise positioning and movement are essential for uniform coverage and quality. It is not a standalone machine but a part of a larger system. When selecting a mounting bracket/manipulator, consider the weight and size of the object to be handled, the required reach and accuracy, the environmental conditions (temperature, dust, moisture), and the available actuation method (manual, pneumatic, or motorized). Verify that the mounting interface matches the end effector or tooling, and that the protection class suits the operating environment. Always confirm model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement.

The bracket provides rigid structural support, while the manipulator mechanism allows controlled movement along specified axes. The mechanism may be manual, pneumatic, or motorized, enabling precise positioning of the spray target relative to the spray source. The movement is achieved through joints and actuators, with the degree of freedom determining the flexibility of positioning. The end effector, such as a spray nozzle or workpiece holder, is attached via a standard flange. The system operates within defined load, reach, and accuracy limits, and is controlled to achieve the desired spray pattern and coverage.
