Aluminum Rail, Pneumatic Hoist, Panel Vacuum Pad

Large glass, sheet metal, or plastic panels need to move between the cutting machine and the inspection table. Carrying them by hand takes two people, the panel vibrates with every step, and a single bump chips the edge.

FullSharp installed an aluminum rail along the processing area, with a pneumatic hoist and a vacuum lifting pad hanging below. The panel is held flat and level, then slides along the rail to the next position.

Equipment Installed

200 kg aluminum rail: a lightweight formed aluminum rail, simply ceiling-mounted, with the trolley sliding very smoothly.
Pneumatic hoist: lifts and lowers via air valve, stopping at any height and holding the load when released.
Vacuum lifting pad: a rubber base attaches to the panel surface, distributing the holding force evenly across the suction area.
Valve and air gauge assembly: filters and stabilizes incoming air pressure, clearly indicating when there's enough vacuum to lift the panel.

Benefits for Your Plant

Panel stays flat

Suction across the surface keeps the panel from sagging or vibrating in transit.

No surface scratches

The soft rubber contact works safely on glass and painted sheet metal.

Lightweight, quiet system

The aluminum rail and pneumatic hoist run smoothly with minimal vibration and noise in the plant.

Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp measures the panel size, thickness, weight, and surface material to select the right vacuum pad and pneumatic hoist size. We check the compressed air supply in your plant, install the aluminum rail line, and run a test with an actual panel.
