A fully integrated vacuum-hoist lifter with manual
tilting that is designed for handling compact metallic loads in pick-and-place
assembly applications is being introduced by ANVER Corporation of Hudson,
Massachusetts. The ANVER APU-Series Assembly
Lifter is a hoist-based, vacuum powered unit that features a custom pick-up
suction pad for lifting compact metallic loads and provides a manual tilt
mechanism for pick-and-place applications. Suitable for assembly operations and feeding machining centers, this lifter-
tilter eliminates metal-to-metal contact and the problem of magnetization.
Allowing one person to safely handle small parts
weighing up to 250 lbs., the ANVER APU-Series Assembly Lifter vacuum head uses
compressed air and the venturi principle for securely holding the load while the
electric chain hoist provides up/down movement to maintain position without
drift when stopped. A VLS-8 vacuum leakage sensor is standard for leak
detection. |
