Articulated arm for handling operations: innovative equipment to simplify industrial maintenance by TCM

At Thomas Constructions Mécaniques (TCM SAS), we transform your industrial challenges into customized solutions. We recently applied our expertise in special industrial machines to design an innovative articulated arm for a renowned paper mill. This device is designed to simplify and optimize maintenance work on a paper manufacturing line.

A solution tailored to your specific needs

As specialists in the design and manufacture of custom machines, we tailor our solutions to the specific requirements of each customer. The key stages of this project were as follows:

  1. Needs analysis: A detailed assessment to fully understand the customer’s requirements.
  2. On-site measurements: Technical surveys to ensure seamless integration.
  3. Customized design: Development of an articulated arm by our design office.
  4. Manufacture and testing: Prototypes tested and validated in our Vagney workshop.
  5. Installation and optimization: On-site installation with functional adjustments.

Technical characteristics of the articulating arm

  • Pivoting 3-axis design for optimum flexibility.
  • Simplified handling of deflectors with the two-finger gripper mounted on a sliding pivot.
  • Ergonomic mechanism with vertical lever for easy rotation and lifting.
  • Enhanced safety with stainless steel ball lock pins to lock the arm in the storage position.

This articulated arm perfectly demonstrates our capacity for innovation to improve the efficiency and safety of your industrial processes.
