Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboErgo with Quadruple Suction Pad, for Loading and Unloading of CNC Woodworking Centers

After purchasing a CNC machining tool, it had to be loaded with wooden boards. This operation used to be performed manually by two employees. Due to the constant physical strain on the employees, they decided to purchase a lifting aid from Schmalz.

The vacuum tube lifter JumboErgo with multiple suction cups and a pneumatic swiveling unit allows a CNC woodworking center to be flexibly loaded and unloaded with wooden boards and furniture parts. The PSE pneumatic swiveling unit can pick up workpieces from an upright transport pallet and swivel them by 90° without jarring. Because the beam is infinitely adjustable, the four suction cups can be adapted to fit each wooden shape. The load is lowered by pressing “Accelerate” and lifted by pressing “Decelerate”. The lifting aid offers functions similar to 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.
