Wirth GmbH presents new, fast and reasonably priced vacuum lifting devices with an integrated lifting column

On the glasstec 2012 in Düsseldorf the Wirth GmbH presents new, fast and reasonably priced vacuum lifting devices with an integrated lifting column.

In in-plant use pneumatically operated vacuum lifters have several technical advantages compared to electrically powered devices. If suctioned panes have to be positioned by powered rotating and / or tilting functions, pneumatically operated devices additionally have price advantages. Moreover, if the up and down movements of the pneumatic lifters shall also be operated by a pneumatic lifting column instead of a common chain hoist, the advantage that only an energy source is needed comes additionally to the price advantages of this solution.

The OKTOPUS® ERGO-Pick is an especially cost-effective and fast pneumatically operated vacuum lifting device. It can be used in single rail crane systems, does not need a chain hoist and has its advantages in the controlled load guidance in a pneumatic lifting cylinder and in the immediate vacuum generation (central ejector) with the first glass contact. Machines from the ERGO-Pick product line are first choice if it is about the reduction in the production costs of window producers or flat glass processing companies by manufacturing process optimization.

The OKTOPUS® ERGO-Pick with its Safe Working Loads of 150, 250 and 350 kg is the ideal complement to the well-known product line of rigidly guided vacuum lifting devices with an integrated lifting column OKTOPUS® ERGO-Jet. By using the same suction frame versions, the ERGO-Pick can lift, transport and position glass sizes of up to 2.600 x 3.210 mm.
