A large flat sheet is hard to hold, with sharp edges and a tendency to bend when two people carry it from opposite ends. Tilting a sheet from horizontal to vertical is even riskier, since the force concentrates on one side, and a single slip can damage the sheet or cause an accident.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic manipulator fitted with a vacuum lifting pad, gripping the sheet by suction and allowing it to tilt vertically right on the equipment. With a lifting capacity of up to 150 kg, one operator controls it from the handle, and the sheet stays held firmly throughout the rotation and lowering.

Pneumatic Manipulator with Vacuum Sheet Lifter and Vertical Tilting, 150 kg

A pneumatic manipulator with a vacuum lifting pad lifting and tilting a sheet vertically on the plant floor.

Equipment Installed

  • Vacuum lifting pad: multiple suction cups spread evenly across the frame, gripping the flat sheet firmly and releasing quickly when set down.
  • Vertical tilting mechanism: turns the sheet from horizontal to vertical with compressed air, without needing anyone to hold it steady.
  • Pneumatic manipulator: carries the sheet's weight, with the operator only guiding it up and down.
  • Control handle: gathers the suction, release, and tilt buttons in one place, for continuous operation without switching hands.
  • Backup vacuum reservoir: holds the vacuum for a short time if air pressure drops, preventing the sheet from falling suddenly.

Benefits for the Plant

One person is enough

The equipment replaces a carrying crew, freeing up labor for other tasks.

Safe tilting

Suction holds the sheet throughout the tilt, so it does not slip or fall on anyone's feet.

Protects surface quality

Even suction contact means the sheet does not get dented or bent from uneven carrying.

Consulting for Your Plant

FullSharp measures the sheet dimensions, weight, and surface characteristics to select the number and type of suction cups. Our engineers calculate the tilting travel and the pick-up and set-down positions, then install, load-test on site, and hand over with safety guidance.
