FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a vacuum lifting pad to pick the top metal sheet off a stack and carry it to the machine table. The suction frame grips the sheet without anyone reaching under its edge, the swing arm covers the area between stack and machine, and the whole job needs only one person.

When metal sheets are stacked, picking up the top one means reaching a hand under its edge - slow and easy to cut yourself. Carrying it with several people causes the sheet to shake and rub against others, scratching the surface.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane with a vacuum lifting pad. The suction frame sets onto the top sheet, grips firmly and lifts it straight up without touching the sheet's edge. The swing arm then carries it to the machine table, and the whole task needs only one person.

Pneumatic Jib Crane with Vacuum Lifting Pad for Metal Sheets

Vacuum lifting pad mounted on a pneumatic jib crane, used for metal sheets in the workshop.

Equipment Installed

  • Vacuum lifting pad: suction cups spread evenly across the sheet, limiting sag when it's lifted.
  • Pneumatic jib crane: the arm swings around the column, covering the area between the sheet stack and the machine table.
  • Pneumatic vacuum generator: draws air from the existing supply, with no extra control panel needed.
  • Holding valve and vacuum gauge: monitors vacuum level and seals the suction chamber if pressure drops suddenly.

Benefits for Your Facility

Fast pickup from a stack

Suction grips straight from the top - no prying the edge or reaching underneath.

Keeps the sheet surface clean

Soft suction pads leave no marks the way clamps or hooks would.

Fewer people needed

One operator replaces a carrying team, cutting the risk of collisions.

Frequently asked questions

How do you pick one metal sheet off the top of a stack?

The vacuum pad sets on the top sheet and grips its surface, so nobody slides fingers under a sharp edge. The sheet is lifted straight up without rubbing the sheets below.

Will thin sheets sag when lifted by vacuum?

Suction cups spread evenly across the sheet limit sag while it is lifted. FullSharp sets the cup layout and frame size to the actual sheet dimensions and thickness used in the shop.

Is there a safety feature if vacuum is lost?

Yes. A holding valve and a vacuum gauge monitor the suction level and seal the suction chamber if supply pressure drops suddenly, so the sheet is not released mid-lift.

FullSharp takes the largest sheet size, thickness, weight and surface condition to select the number of suction cups and the safety factor. Our engineers determine the column position, reach and compressed air supply. Contact FullSharp to schedule a workshop survey.
