Vacuum Lifting Device VacuMaster Basic Device Simplifies Loading of CNC Machine Tools

The purchase of a new CNC machining center for cutting metal sheets made it necessary to ease the process of loading the system with sheet metal. The weight of 200 kg and a format of 2,500 mm x 1,250 mm (length x width) meant that it was only possible to load the system manually using a large number of employees. It was very important for the firm to be able to pick up the sheets without damaging them.

The vacuum lifting device VacuMaster Basic is suited for one-person handling of metal sheets. The lifting aid impresses with its operator handle which allows the work to be performed easily thanks to the ergonomic arrangement of the operating units. The VacuMaster Basic vacuum lifting device can lift loads weighing up to 250 kg. It has an audible warning device and a large vacuum reservoir, which provide adequate safety even if there is a power failure. State-of-the-art vacuum technology is used to hold the sheets so that they are not damaged. The SK column-mounted slewing crane, with a swivel angle of 270°, covers a correspondingly large working area, thus rounding off the handling system perfectly.
