Professional Vacuum Lifter For Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Loading and Unloading systems for loading sheet metal on laser cutting

A vacuum lifter for sheet metal is a lifting device specifically designed for handling, lifting, and transporting metal sheets using vacuum suction. These lifters use suction cups to grip the surface of the metal sheet securely without causing damage, making them ideal for handling flat and smooth materials such as steel, aluminum, and stainless steel sheets.

Key Features of Vacuum Lifters for Sheet Metal:

1. Suction Technology:

• The lifter employs vacuum suction cups that attach to the metal sheet's surface, allowing for easy, secure lifting and transport. It can handle various sheet materials like steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.

2. Material Compatibility:

• Suitable for iron sheets, aluminum sheets, stainless steel sheets, and non-metallic smooth sheets like plastic. Magnetic vacuum cups are used for ferrous materials, while traditional vacuum cups handle non-ferrous metals and other materials.

3. Rated Load Capacity:

• Models are available in a variety of load capacities, typically ranging from 300 kg to 800 kg or more, depending on the model and configuration.

4. Suction Cup Configuration:

• The number and diameter of suction cups vary based on the size and weight of the sheet to be handled. Common configurations include 4-8 suction cups with diameters from 150mm to 200mm.

5. Automation Options:

• Some vacuum lifters are part of an automated system used in processes such as loading/unloading laser cutting machines, making it more efficient for high-production environments. Both manual and automated models are available.

6. Operation Types:

• Pneumatic Vacuum Lifters: These require a compressed air source to create the vacuum suction. They are used in industries where compressed air is readily available.

• Battery-Powered Vacuum Lifters: Portable and convenient for locations without a permanent power supply, they operate using rechargeable batteries.

• Electric Plug-In Vacuum Lifters: These use electricity (AC 220V/380V) to power the vacuum pump and are suitable for long-term operations where continuous power is needed.

Applications:

1. Sheet Metal Processing:

• Ideal for loading and unloading metal sheets during laser cutting, stamping, bending, or CNC processing operations.

2. Metal Fabrication:

• Useful for stacking and unstacking sheets in metal fabrication shops.

3. Construction:

• Vacuum lifters are employed to transport large metal sheets for construction purposes, such as installing metal panels in building facades.

4. Manufacturing:

• Widely used in automotive, appliance, and machinery manufacturing for moving sheet metal components safely and efficiently.

Advantages:

1. Damage-Free Handling:

• Vacuum lifters reduce the risk of damaging the metal sheet, preventing scratches or deformations.

2. Increased Efficiency:

• They speed up the loading, unloading, and transport processes, especially when integrated into automated systems.

3. Enhanced Safety:

• By automating the lifting process, vacuum lifters reduce the risk of injuries related to manual lifting of heavy sheets.

4. Flexibility:

• Vacuum lifters can handle a wide range of sheet sizes and thicknesses, providing flexibility in various production environments.

5. Versatility:

• Can be adapted for a variety of sheet sizes, materials, and applications.

Typical Specifications:

• Rated Load: 300-800 kg

• Suction Cup Diameter: 150mm – 200mm

• Number of Suction Cups: 6-8 suction cups

• Power Source: Pneumatic, battery-powered, or plug-in electric

• Sheet Size Range: From small (2000×1000mm) to large sheets (4000×2000mm)
