Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboErgo Simplifies Loading Wooden Boards into a Modern CNC Machining Tool

Type of handling: Manual handling
Sector: Wood
Component: Wooden Sheets;Furniture Parts

The Strohm carpentry workshop in Tuttlingen, Germany distinguishes itself though its combination of individualized interior construction and perfect craftsmanship. One factor making this possible is a production facility equipped with the most modern machinery.

When the company acquired a modern CNC wood-machining tool, the logistical transport to the loading stage needed to be ideally controlled. This involves the transport of wooden boards and furniture parts weighing up to 70 kg. In order to protect the health of the employees and to accomplish the work using only one person, Strohm decided to purchase a vacuum handling system from Schmalz.

Thanks to a double suction pad, the vacuum tube lifter JumboErgo provides correspondingly flexible loading and unloading of the CNC machine tool with wooden sheets and furniture parts. Because the beam is infinitely adjustable, the two suction pads can be adapted to fit each wooden shape. The load is lowered by pressing “Accelerate” and lifted by pressing “Decelerate”on the vacuum tube lifter. The vacuum tube lifter is operated like a motorcycle gas handle, making handling quick and gentle.
In combination with the SK column-mounted slewing crane, only one person is required to perform the work ergonomically and at any working height.
