Connectors

Light, robust and flexible

The combination of aluminum and high-strength plastic allows the cross beams and suction plates to be easily adjusted to quickly adapt to changing formats.

Load beam

Integrated vacuum reservoir

The large vacuum reservoir prevents the load from falling in the case of a power failure and makes gripping faster during repeated lifting processes.

Suction Plates

Versatility for every task

Allows for optimal adaptation to the workpiece and to requirements such as heat resistance, food safety and mark-free gripping. Select from suspension which is rigid, spring-mounted or both flexible and spring-mounted.

Vacuum Gripper Shut-Off

Adapts to changing workpieces

With the vacuum gripper shut-off valve several vacuum grippers can be turned off for handling of cut pieces or pieces with gaps.

Parking Stands

Secure storage of the lifting device

When the lifting device is not in use, the parking stands allow it to be stored securely while protecting the suction plates. This allows the crane to be used for other purposes.

Suction Plate Covers

Mark-free handling

The suction plate covers prevent the plates from leaving marks on sensitive workpieces such as glass sheets or solar panels.

Water Separator

Protection against water

The water separator prevents water from entering the vacuum generator during moist processes such as waterjet cutting.
