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.

FullSharp installed a Lifts All articulating jib crane with a vacuum head. The multi-segment folding arm reaches around the machine body, keeping the mold balanced while the operator guides it into its mounting slot slowly and precisely.

Lifts All Articulating Jib Crane with Vacuum Lifter for CNC Mold Loading

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.
