Motor Stator Handling and Transfer Between Workstations
An overhead-mounted pneumatic industrial manipulator with internal-expansion tooling picks stators through their bore and assists with lifting, horizontal movement and assembly positioning. It reduces repetitive manual support while leaving floor space available at fixed workstations.

Motor stator handlingApplication overview
Motor stators have concentrated weight, and handling must clear nearby equipment while aligning with assembly fixtures. An overhead-mounted pneumatic industrial manipulator with internal-expansion tooling grips the stator through load-bearing areas of its bore. The manipulator carries the handling load while the operator guides lifting and horizontal movement. The overhead arrangement reduces floor occupancy and connects pickup, transfer and positioning within a fixed workstation.
System configuration
| Workpiece | Motor stators |
|---|---|
| Equipment arrangement | Overhead-mounted pneumatic industrial manipulator |
| Tooling | Internal-expansion tooling |
| Main motions | Internal-expansion gripping, lifting, horizontal movement, positioning, and assembly loading and unloading |
| Layout features | Overhead arrangement reduces floor occupancy |
| Workstations | Motor assembly, inspection, and machining loading and unloading |
Configuration features
- The internal-expansion tooling engages areas of the stator bore that can carry the load, reducing manual holding of the outer circumference and preserving operating space for fixture alignment.
- The overhead manipulator covers the fixed workstation from above, reducing floor occupancy and connecting pick-and-place positions beside the production line.
- The manipulator assists with supporting the stator weight while the operator guides lifting and horizontal movement, allowing attention to focus on orientation and placement.
Operating sequence
- Move the internal-expansion tooling above the stator, align it with the bore and approach slowly until the tooling reaches the intended gripping position.
- Expand the tooling to grip and confirm its status, then lift the stator clear of the tray or original support.
- Maintain the grip and guide horizontal movement, clearing nearby equipment as the stator moves to the target fixture or loading and unloading position.
- Adjust the relative position of the stator and fixture, then lower slowly. After the workpiece is supported, release the internal-expansion grip and withdraw.
Selection and configuration
- If the bore cannot carry the load, external clamps or combined tooling can engage permitted contact areas on the outer circumference or other load-bearing locations.
- A mobile arrangement can be selected when several dispersed workstations share the equipment. Operate after the mobile base is positioned, and reposition between stations while unloaded.
- Different sizes of internal-expansion contact components or dedicated tooling can be selected for stator changeover, matching each bore and load-bearing position.
Frequently asked questions
Where does internal-expansion tooling grip a stator?
The tooling enters the stator bore and establishes a grip in areas that can carry the load. The manipulator then assists with lifting and transfer, and the operator guides the end position to align with the fixture.
What loading and unloading stations suit overhead mounting?
It suits relatively fixed pick-and-place positions with limited floor space. The manipulator covers the operating area from above, and the workpiece is picked, moved horizontally and placed within its reachable range.
