Our custom material handling systems meet a variety of manufacturing and assembly needs.
Experience
Your solutions will be custom engineered, backed by over 25 years of experience.
Fabrication
In-house fabrication allows us to create custom components in a very short period of time.
Types Of Material Handling Systems
GCI engineers design custom material handling solutions for complex problems on a daily basis. Our commitment to pushing the boundaries has made us a leader in the ergonomic space.
Manipulators
Up to 20’ reach / High lift capacity
The manipulator lift system is ideal for applications involving heavier loads. This industrial material handling equipment is capable of lifting a variety of capacities with up to 20 feet of reach. The end effector on the manipulator is customized for your material handling needs.
AdaptiCS Smart Arm
Part Locator Strategies / Dynamic Work Process
The AdaptiCS Smart Arm can be used to error-proof most applications. Smart arms help guide the operator with a torque monitoring program that also tracks the number of fasteners used in assembly. The AdaptiCS Smart Arm supports picture and PDF work-instruction display; has multiple part locator strategies; includes a fully programmable dynamic work process display; and is capable of infinite part programs.
Carbon Fiber Composite Technology
Up to 20’ reach / 1,000 lb. lift capacity / 7500 Nm torque reaction
Carbon fiber composite technology provides the most ergonomic and lightweight material handling systems in the industry. These systems are lighter than any equivalent steel system and offer great rigidity at extended reaches.
End Effectors And Tooling
Our end effectors are designed to be fast, lightweight, and easy to use. Whether it is a straight-forward roll handling project or a complex clean room application, our team of skillful engineers will meet or exceed all your expectations.
They can be mounted on either a manipulator arm, jib crane, or overhead system.
Pneumatic Grippers
This type of tooling can grab material with an expanding or contracting gripper travel. The gripper is custom designed to handle your specific product.
Vacuum Lifts
The vacuum lift tooling utilizes suction cups to move boxes, panels, drums, and other products with a smooth surface.
Torque Reaction Systems
Our torque reaction systems are compatible with any DC tool model available on the market today: whether you have a 10 Nm or a 7500 Nm, single or multi-spindle application, GCI has the perfect solution for your torque reaction needs.
