Manual Handling
- Ergonomic handling technology for manual workflows
- The solutions consist of a vacuum lifter and a matching crane system
- Individual design of the complete system according to ergonomic principles
The vacuum technology offers many efficient solutions in automation, clamping and handling applications. By using vacuum, higher performances in production processes can be achieved. The vacuum systems can be divided into three categories:
Production processes can be rationalized and humanized by vacuum handling systems. Work pieces can be handled effortlessly and fast – leading to a higher productivity and saving at lot of time. Beside this economic advantage, the working environment can be extremely improved. The health of the workers is protected because the repeated lifting of heavy goods is now minimized and thereby, employees are highly motivated and more productive. The work pieces can be lifted easily without any effort by using the vacuum technology as well as goods can be transported very rapidly.
Vacuum gripping systems find its’ application in various sectors of the industry – let it be in mechanical engineering or in the robot industry. These vacuum systems combine a highly flexible handling of work pieces with economy. Automated order picking, sorting, palletizing and depalletizing of many goods is possible – no matter what size, shape or surface. The range of work pieces that can be handled is broad: instable cardboard boxes, big channelled sheets, furniture elements with and without cut-outs as well as sensitive, small pieces such as electronic chips or CDs.
Vacuum clamping systems are vacuum systems used on CNC machine tools as well as for manual work. The work pieces are clamped securely with the help of vacuum, enabling a fast and efficient processing. Time consuming re-clamping is reduced to a minimum and damages caused by clamping the work piece mechanically is avoided.
The particular advantages of such vacuum systems are that the handling of workpieces can be carried out very safely, precisely and quickly. For example, a wooden door can be processed effortlessly and without frequent re-clamping all the way round. Vacuum technology can also be used for a wide range of very different objects and is ideal for precision work. As the workpiece is lifted by vacuum, there is no damage or signs of wear. This means that even sensitive solar panels and electronic parts can be handled and transported quickly.
