FullSharp installed a Lifts All articulating jib crane with a vacuum head for loading heavy, expensive molds into CNC machines with tight clearance. The multi-segment folding arm reaches around the machine body and keeps the mold balanced, so the operator guides it slowly into its mounting slot without knocking the machine wall.
Molds loaded into CNC machines are both heavy and expensive; even a light knock against the machine wall scratches the mold surface and sends it off for repair. The tight clearance around the machine also means ordinary lifting equipment can't bring the mold in at the right angle.

The Lifts All articulating jib crane with vacuum head loading a mold into a CNC machine.
Equipment Installed
- Lifts All articulating arm: independently folding segments that route around obstacles to bring the mold into the machine's interior.
- Vacuum head: the suction cup grips the mold's flat surface without clamping the edges, so it leaves no marks.
- Load balancer: keeps the mold suspended at any height; releasing the hand leaves the mold hanging in place.
- Vacuum safety valve: holds the vacuum if air supply or power is lost, so the mold doesn't drop freely.
Key Specifications
- Arm typeArticulating, folding
- Gripping typeVacuum
Benefits for Your Facility
No scratches on the mold surface
Rubber suction and a gradual approach avoid contact with the machine body.
Reaches hidden spots
The articulating arm routes around obstacles that a straight-beam crane can't reach.
Precise mold placement
The balanced load lets the operator fine-tune the position with just a fingertip.

Frequently asked questions
How do you load a mold into a CNC machine without scratching it?
Use a balanced arm that can reach around the machine body. The mold stays level and moves slowly under the operator's guidance, so it does not hit the machine wall.
Why use vacuum to hold a mold?
A vacuum head grips a flat face without clamping the sides, which helps in tight spaces. FullSharp checks the mold surface, size and weight before choosing the head.
Which industries use this setup?
Semiconductor and optoelectronics plants, high-precision CNC areas, press mold change shops and precision equipment assembly.
