FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane right beside a CNC machine with an 80 kg rated hook, for workpieces that operators used to carry from the rack and thread through the machine door by hand. The air unit carries the weight, so the operator only guides the part onto the chuck and reverses the motion to unload the finished piece.

Workpieces loaded into the CNC machine weigh around 80 kg. Operators have to carry them from the material rack, thread them through the machine door, and set them onto the chuck. Carrying a heavy load close to the body in a tight space makes it easy to hit the machine table or catch a hand.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane right beside the machine, fitted with an 80 kg rated hook on the arm end. The pneumatic unit carries the workpiece weight, so the operator only guides the direction and swings the arm to center the workpiece on the chuck, then reverses the motion to unload the finished part.

Pneumatic Jib Crane with Hook for CNC Machine Loading, 80 kg Capacity

Pneumatic jib crane with hook installed beside a CNC machine, feeding a workpiece into the machining area.

Installed Equipment

  • Column and swing arm: mounted right next to the CNC machine, with enough reach to cover the material rack and the chuck.
  • Pneumatic balancer unit: keeps the workpiece suspended at any height, so the operator raises and lowers it with almost no effort.
  • 80 kg rated hook: fitted with a safety latch, hooks onto the lifting bail or lifting eye on the workpiece.
  • Control handle: a compact lift/lower valve that fits in the palm, operable even when standing close to the machine door.

Benefits for Your Plant

Faster loading

No need to call in extra staff or wait for a crane. Downtime between workpieces is shorter.

Fewer machine collisions

The workpiece follows the rigid arm without swinging inside the machine door, reducing damage to the chuck and cutting tools.

Less strain on operators

The pneumatic unit carries the load instead of the operator, who can stand upright instead of straining to lift.

Frequently asked questions

How do you load heavy workpieces into a CNC machine?

A jib crane placed next to the machine lets the operator lift the part from the rack and swing it through the door to the chuck. The pneumatic unit carries the weight, so there is no need to hold the part close to the body.

What load can this CNC loading crane take?

The hook and air unit in this project are rated for 80 kg. FullSharp sizes the reach so the arm covers both the material rack and the chuck.

Is a pneumatic jib crane safe near a machine?

The hook has a safety latch so the part cannot slip off, and the arm holds position when released. This reduces the risk of hitting the machine table or catching a hand in the tight work area.

FullSharp visits your site to measure the workpiece weight, the distance from the material rack to the machine door, and the ceiling height above the machine. We then choose the column position, arm reach, and end effector type to match your exact parts. Schedule a site survey with FullSharp to get a solution.
