This versatile vacuum lifter offers universal application and flexibility. By adjusting the placement of the individual suction pads, workpieces can be transported in both horizontal and vertical orientations. Additionally, flat loads can be tipped into an upright position when required.

Each suction pad is equipped with a manual slide valve and a vacuum gauge for precise control and monitoring.

Areas of application:

• Variable lifter up to 500kg
• Power supply via cable with CEE plug
• Acoustic warning device with power failure message
• Horizontal and vertical transport depending on the arrangement of the suction cups
• Positioning of workpieces over longitudinal and transverse axes
• For smooth and structured surfaces
• Large-area panel materials of all kinds
• Furniture and containers
• “ACCU” version for “off mains” operation

Standard Safety Features

Vacuum Pump	Reserve Tank	Check Valve
Robust and powerful vacuum pumps in dry-running or oil-lubricated design. Integrated low-vibration via rubber buffers.	Integrated in the longitudinal beam of the vacuum lifter. It  prevents the load from dropping in the event of a power failure and ensures short suction times.	The check valve prevents the vacuum system from being vented backwards in the event of a power failure.

 

Acoustic Warning Device	Vacuum Filter	Main Switch Monitoring
The acoustic warning device warns operators in the event of a vacuum failure and power failure.	The vacuum filters protect the vacuum pump from unnecessary contamination and ensure a long service life.	Unique protective device, which uses a vacuum switch in the distribution system to warn operators of suction when the device is not activated.

 

Control Vacuum Gauge	Manual Slide Valve with Lock
The visual vacuum controls show operators the exact status of the vacuum and have a clear red/green area.	Secures the release by two-hand operation against unintentional operation.

Setup Equipment

Basic Design	Attachment	Control Handle
All devices are based on a robust and weight-optimized steel construction that ensures safe and long-lasting use.	The devices are attached using a large sized suspension eye that fits into all common crane hooks – including special sizes and designs.	The different operating handle lengths ensure that the operator is always outside the danger zone.

 

Adjustability of Suction Pads	Spring-loaded Suspension	Shutoff Cocks
The suction pads can be quickly and easily adjusted to different workpiece dimensions using cross clamps on the longitudinal and cross beams.	As standard, all our suction cups are spring-mounted on both sides and ensure gentle lowering and optimal load adjustment.	By moving individual suction pads in and out, extremely small workpieces can be picked up or existing openings can be removed.

 

Serviceability	Compact Control Cabinet
All maintenance-intensive units such as vacuum filters, pumps and suction pads are directly accessible and do not have to be exposed by removing covers.	All vacuum lifters have a compact control cabinet that is freely accessible for maintenance work at all times.

Safety Options

Electrical Vacuum Control	Automatic Switching	Warning Device Signal Lamps
Simply suck and release at the touch of a button. Powerful  electromagnetic valves ensure proper flow and short suction and release times.	Automatic switching between suction and release when placing the vacuum lifter on the  workpiece.	In addition to the acoustic warning siren, a green and red signal lamp indicates whether the vacuum is fault-free or there is an error.

 

Parking Feet	Water Separator	Blower with Outlet Mass
Guarantee stable parking of the vacuum lifter while at the same  time protecting the suction cups.	When used on water jet systems, the water separator protects the vacuum pump from emulsions and the resulting damage.	When handling porous workpieces, such as chipboard or MDF, a blower with runout mass provides the necessary safety, e.g. in the event of a power failure.

 

Mechanical Lower Gripper	Electric Bottom Gripper
The vacuum lifters can be equipped with mechanical bottom grippers that protect people during assembly work.	Move in and out at the push of a button (for higher cycle rates and more complicated assembly processes).

Operating Options

Tiltable Operating Handles	Individual Operating Handles	Holder for Pendant Control
For an ergonomic operating position, the operating handle can be tilted using a hand lever.	The most individual special design with tilting, turning and extending functions ensure perfect handling of the devices.	The universal holders for crane controls ensure order and easy  operation of the vacuum lifter.

 

Control Box	Integrated Crane Control	Operation via Pendant Control
Control of all existing functions at the push of a button. The most convenient equipment variant when the highest cycle times are required.	The integrated crane control in the vacuum lifter ensures particularly convenient operation. At the push of a button, the crane moves in all directions.	If operation directly on the device is not possible, pendant controls with a spiral cable connection are available for control.

 

Operation by Wireless Control

Remote control for easier handling with very large vacuum lifters or extremely long transport  distances.

Modules and Facilities

ACCU Module	BATT Module	ECO Module
Mains-independent exchangeable battery (up to 80 cycles), with simultaneous recharging of a second battery via a separate charger during operation.	By using battery cells with an integrated charger, it is possible to work independently of the mains for up to 300 cycles. Charging time about 8-10 hours.	Increases the service life of the vacuum pumps and ensures quieter work, because the vacuum pump only runs when required.

 

Multiple Circuit System	AIR Module	Multi-Chamber System
If different workpiece dimensions have to be transported over a long period of time, bistable impulse valves ensure process-reliable adjustment of the suction circuits.	The AIR module works exclusively with compressed air on an ejector basis and has a pneumatic warning device with a whistle.	Multi-chamber systems for adapting different diameter ranges are available for the VacuCoil device series.

Individual Adjustments

V-Shaped Crossbeams	Removable Extensions	Manual Telescoping Beam
Very simple, inexpensive and efficient extensions are V-shaped crossbeams. The length of the vacuum lifter is automatically changed by moving it in and out.	For transport reasons or to adapt to different workpiece lengths, crossbeams can be manufactured in removable versions.	Extension beams that can be extended and retracted on both sides guarantee a simple and cost-effective length adjustment of the vacuum lifter

 

Electrical Telescoping Beam	Telescopic Crossbeams	Variable-Height Suction Cups
With heavy loads or when loading heavy processing machines, the side members can be adjusted electrically.	To adapt to different workpiece widths, the crossbeams can also be supplied in a telescoping configuration.	In order to adapt to different workpiece heights (molds), the holders of the suction pads can be adjusted in height and fixed.

 

Vacuum Lifter - Rotatable Suspension Eye

With non-rotatable crane hooks for endless rotation of loads or the vacuum lifter.
