Vacuum Pad Lifting with an ENDO Air Balancer

FullSharp installs a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail with an ENDO air balancer and a vacuum pad for products whose surface scratches easily and cannot be gripped with jaws. The balancer offsets the exact weight so the load holds still at any height, the operator pushes gently, and no fingerprints or marks are left behind.

Product needs to be picked up and set down constantly, but the surface scratches easily and can't be gripped with jaws. Doing it by hand is slow and leaves fingerprints, and the repeated motion tires workers' shoulders over a full shift.

FullSharp installs a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail carrying an ENDO air balancer with a vacuum lifting pad. The balancer offsets the exact weight so the load stays still at any height, and the operator only pushes gently in the direction needed.

Equipment installed

Ceiling-mounted aluminum rail: a lightweight rail with smooth travel, suspended from the roof structure with threaded rods along the working route.
ENDO Air Balancer: a pneumatic balancing unit that keeps the load suspended and responds directly to the operator's hand force.
Vacuum lifting pad: suction cups spread evenly across the product surface, gripping firmly without leaving marks.
Compressed air treatment unit: filters and regulates inlet air, keeping the balancing force stable throughout the production shift.

Benefits for the plant

Load stays put when released

The balancer holds the load at any height, freeing the operator's hands to adjust position.

No marks left behind

Rubber suction cups fully replace pressing or clamping onto the product surface.

Smooth repeated motion

The aluminum rail and balancer share the load, so hands stay light through a full shift.

Frequently asked questions

How does an air balancer make a load feel weightless?

It offsets the exact weight of the load with air pressure, so the part stays still at any height and responds directly to the operator's hand.

Why use vacuum for scratch-sensitive products?

Jaws can mark the surface and bare hands leave fingerprints. Suction cups spread evenly across the surface grip firmly without marks. FullSharp checks the finish first.

How is the aluminum rail installed?

It hangs from the roof structure on threaded rods along the working route, with smooth travel for the trolley. FullSharp checks the structure and load before fixing the rods.
