VacuMaster Modular Vacuum Lifters

Functional, Safe, Ergonomic

Vacuum lifting devices are ideal tools for handling sheets of metal, wood and timber, glass, and stone slabs weighing up to 2000 kg. The product to be lifted is first gripped by the Vacumaster using vacuum, and then lifted and moved safely with the aid of a crane.Robustness and reliability are the most important features of this product series. The Vacuum Lifters have been designed to be compact and modular, so adaptation to different applications can be achieved. Crane systems complement the vacuum lifting devices to provide a complete system solution.

Application
For handling large, flat and typically non-porous workpieces, for example:
• Loading and unloading CNC laser cutting machines with metal plates
• Loading and unloading CNC machining centers with wooden boards or plastic sheets
• Handling and positioning glass panels and windows during production, framing and installation

Your Benefits
• Efficient, non-damaging handling of heavy loads
• To work ergonomically and protect operator health
• Excellent work safety and process reliability thanks to vacuum reservoir and audible warning device
• Long service life due to a robust mixture of steel, aluminum and high-strength plastic
• Low operating costs thanks to controlled vacuum generator with energy saving (Comfort version)

Design and Function
The vacuum lifting device VacuMaster has a modular design. Various basic modules, operator handles, load beams and suction plates allow you to customize the configuration. The necessary suction force is generated by the vacuum generator and transferred to the workpiece via the suction plates. For safety purposes, the aluminum load beam also serves as a vacuum reservoir. A chain hoist is required for lifting or lowering motion, which Schmalz offers along with a compatible crane system.
