FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base with a multi-pad vacuum lifting head to move cartons from the conveyor onto pallets. The pads spread suction evenly so boxes keep their shape, and a vacuum-holding valve stops the box dropping if pressure falls, while the base moves to another line when orders change.
Cartons are light but numerous and repetitive — lifting them by hand all shift tires the shoulders and easily dents the corners. The packing area also changes location depending on orders, so a fixed column mounted to the floor isn't practical.
FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base with a multi-pad vacuum lifting head. The suction pads grip the box surface evenly, spreading the suction force so it leaves no marks. Workers simply push the handle to move boxes from the conveyor onto the pallet.
Vacuum lifting pad mounted on a mobile base pneumatic jib crane, used in the carton packing area.
Suction pads spread evenly over the box surface, so the cardboard keeps its shape and goods look good going into storage.
The mobile base needs no floor drilling or columns, so moving it along the line is quick.
Vacuum carries the box's full weight, so the operator only guides the direction.
Spreading suction across several pads holds the box firmly without concentrating force in one spot, so corners and surfaces are not dented. FullSharp sets the pad layout to the actual carton sizes.
A vacuum generator runs on compressed air, so no separate electric pump is needed. A holding valve keeps suction if air pressure falls, so the box does not drop.
Carton packaging plants, distribution and logistics warehouses, end-of-line areas in food plants and palletizing zones. The mobile base needs no drilling, so the unit can follow changing order lines.
FullSharp measures box size and weight, checks the cardboard surface to choose the number of suction pads and rubber cushion type. Our technicians also check available compressed air supply and aisle width to size the base. Call FullSharp to schedule a survey.
