Tailor-made manipulators for every industrial need
At RHS, every manipulator begins with a simple principle: no two production processes are ever the same.
That’s why we specialize in the design and manufacture of custom manipulators that are not just technically precise, but fully aligned with the way your people and your production system work.
Our engineering team collaborates closely with each client to understand loads, movements, spatial constraints, and operator routines. This detailed analysis allows us to deliver handling systems that perfectly match your operational flow — increasing efficiency while preserving operator comfort and safety.
We go beyond the limits of standard automation.
Each tailor-made manipulator is the result of a multidisciplinary process combining mechanical design, ergonomic research, and human-centric engineering. The result is a machine that fits naturally into its environment — not only performing a task, but improving the quality of the entire workspace.
Whether it’s lifting heavy components, positioning delicate parts, or handling complex geometries, our manipulators ensure:
- precision through advanced balancing and intuitive controls
- safety thanks to certified systems and ergonomic interfaces
- reliability even in demanding industrial conditions
- fluidity of motion for effortless handling
- integration with digital monitoring and Industry 4.0 platforms
Every detail is designed with one goal in mind: to make work simpler, safer, and more human.

Why choose an RHS custom manipulator
Choosing an RHS custom manipulator means choosing a partner who understands that every industrial challenge requires a unique, intelligent, and human-oriented response.
Each solution we design reflects over thirty years of experience in industrial handling — combining mechanical precision with an unwavering commitment to ergonomics, safety, and efficiency.
Our manipulators are not standard products adapted to your needs — they are tailor-made systems engineered around your processes, materials, and working environment.
1. Fully tailor-made design
Every RHS manipulator begins with a deep analysis of your application: type of load, weight distribution, production rhythm, workspace geometry, and operator interaction.
Based on this data, our design office develops a customized configuration that optimizes both performance and usability.
From pneumatic systems to electronic control units, from arm geometry to grip design, every component is conceived to deliver perfect balance and intuitive handling, even during the most demanding operations.
2. Aesthetic and functional customization
We believe functionality and aesthetics are two sides of the same concept: integration.
RHS allows you to personalize your manipulator with corporate colors, branded graphics, and materials that align with your company’s identity.
Beyond design, we offer a wide range of functional customizations to make the operator’s workspace more comfortable and efficient, such as:
- lockers for personal belongings
- food and beverage holders
- charging and docking stations
- integrated tablets or control screens
- wall-mounted whiteboards and tool supports
Each accessory is designed to enhance daily use, reduce distractions, and create a more organized and pleasant working environment.
3. Operator-centric ergonomics
Ergonomics is not an optional feature — it is the foundation of every RHS custom manipulator.
Through careful balance calibration, smooth movement control, and reduced lifting effort, we help operators maintain natural postures, minimizing fatigue and injury risk.
Our goal is to humanize industrial handling, turning repetitive operations into intuitive, effortless movements.
In doing so, we not only improve safety and productivity, but also quality of life in the workplace.
4. Smart integration with Industry 4.0 and 5.0
All RHS manipulators are ready for the future of manufacturing.
We integrate connectivity systems, monitoring interfaces, and data collection tools that provide insights into usage patterns, maintenance needs, and process efficiency.
But our vision goes beyond digitalization: in the spirit of Industry 5.0, we focus on the synergy between human intuition and robotic intelligence.
Our machines learn from human experience — not to replace it, but to enhance it — creating a balanced ecosystem where technology serves people.
5. Long-term reliability and support
An RHS manipulator is designed to last.
Every project is followed by comprehensive support — from installation and operator training to preventive maintenance and spare parts management.
Our after-sales team ensures that your custom system remains efficient, safe, and precise throughout its entire lifecycle.
Because true customization doesn’t end at delivery: it continues through ongoing care, dialogue, and evolution.
