Application

Handling of large and flat, mostly airtight loads and workpieces

Loading and unloading of CNC laser cutting machines with metal sheets

Loading and unloading of CNC machining centers with suction-tight wooden boards or plastic sheets

Handling and positioning of glass panes and windows during production, framing and assembly

Product Inquiry

Efficient and damage-free handling of large loads

Ergonomic and healthy working conditions

        
Excellent work safety and process reliability thanks to vacuum reservoir and audible warning device

        
Long service life thanks to the robust material mix of steel, aluminum and high-strength plastic

(1) Motor protection switch

(2) Vacuum gauge (manometer)

(3) Vacuum on/off - picks up and Releases the load via a highly reliable manual slide valve

(4) Operator handle - Schmalz chain hoist pendant can be attached

(5) Chain hoist up/down Lifts and lowers the load

(6) Emergency-stop function for chain hoist

Manual slide valve

Reliable and safe vacuum control

VacuMaster Basic with manual slide valve for high safety by double actuation and anti-trap protection. Prevents unwanted loosing of the load.

Connectors

Light, robust and flexible

The combination of aluminum and high-strength plastic allows the cross beams and suction plates to be easily adjusted to quickly adapt to changing formats.

Load beam

Integrated vacuum reservoir

The large vacuum reservoir prevents the load from falling in the case of a power failure and makes gripping faster during repeated lifting processes.

Suction Plates

Versatility for every task

Allows for optimal adaptation to the workpiece and to requirements such as heat resistance, food safety and mark-free gripping. Select from suspension which is rigid, spring-mounted or both flexible and spring-mounted.
