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.

Rubber suction and a gradual approach avoid contact with the machine body.
The articulating arm routes around obstacles that a straight-beam crane can't reach.
The balanced load lets the operator fine-tune the position with just a fingertip.
FullSharp measures the mold weight, its gripping surface, and the clearance around the CNC machine to select the articulating arm configuration. We install it, test it directly on your machine, and provide guidance on safe operation.
