Suction lifting system: definition and advantages!

But, what is suction lifting and why use it? Manut-LM in the rest of this article tells you everything.

What is suction lifting?

Suction lifting refers to the process in which a worker or employee moves a load vertically by lifting and suspending. This vacuum lifting system increases productivity while saving effort.

Why opt for suction lifting?

It is very painful to constantly perform manual lifting of heavy, bulky and relatively light objects (when it is done on a regular basis). This increases the risk of serious accidents and exposes you to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

By opting for the suction lifting system, you will:

• Save money, because its price is very reasonable;
• Secure your operators and products in the handling phases;
• Promote the quality of work by gaining precision;
• Increase your productivity by reducing handling time;
• Benefit profitability through a return on investment in the short term.

Easy to use, simple and reliable, this lifting system can lift many products such as cardboard, sheets, bags, wood panels, drums, glazing, etc. whatever their size (size and shape).

How does suction lifting work?

It is difficult today to imagine modern manufacturing processes without thinking about handling and lifting goods using vacuum. Otherwise, how would it be possible to quickly and safely stack cartons, load and unload heavy items, move glass panels with peace of mind, etc. ?

As simple as it is ingenious, the suction lifting system is an extremely effective method. By means of a suction cup, a vacuum plate or an suction base, it allows objects to be moved, lifted and transported. In addition, it contributes to supplying materials to manufacturing processes. It also happens that it has the function of gently and safely tightening parts during their treatment.

As its functions are not limited to those mentioned above, the empty technology also makes it possible to move wooden parts throughout the production line. It is also intended to keep them in place on machine tools. It also works for Pick and Peace applications in the packaging, food and electronics industries. As you can see, the suction lifting system is used in many automated manufacturing processes.
