1.General Description of Tank Assembly Manipulator for Corrugated Tanks
This Manipulator is designed for fast and easy assembly of the top frame, tank bottom and the four corrugated panels
to make a complete tank. This unit is quick to changeover from one tank size to the next so allowing efficient production
of small batch sizes.
