Flat sheets stacked on a pallet are hard to separate one at a time by hand. Workers have to slide their fingers into the gap, risking cuts and scratching the sheet underneath, and every lift can bend the edge if the pulling force is uneven.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane with a vacuum lifting pad right next to the sheet storage area. The suction cups grip evenly across the top of the sheet, compressed air lifts it, the arm swings the sheet over to the machine table, and the operator only guides the direction.

Pneumatic Jib Crane with Vacuum Lifting Pad for Sheet Handling

A pneumatic jib crane with a vacuum lifting pad lifting a flat sheet off the material stack.

Equipment Installed

  • Pneumatic jib arm: lifts and lowers with air, swinging around the column to connect the sheet pickup point with the machine table.
  • Vacuum lifting pad: suction cups spaced evenly across the frame separate exactly one sheet from the stack without scratching the one below.
  • Vacuum pump: maintains stable vacuum level, with a gauge for the operator to monitor.
  • Control handle: lift, lower, suction, and release buttons grouped together for one-handed operation.

Benefits for Your Plant

Clean sheet separation

Suction from above picks up exactly one sheet, no need to slide fingers into the gap.

Keeps surfaces clean

The soft suction cups make even contact so sheets are not scratched or bent at the edges when lifted.

Light handling, fast operation

Compressed air carries the weight, the operator only guides direction and aligns the placement point.

Consultation for Your Plant Installation

FullSharp measures the sheet dimensions, weight, and surface to calculate the number of suction cups and safety factor. Our engineers position the column so the jib arm covers both the sheet storage area and the machine table, then install and load-test the system before handover.
