Flat sheets are smooth and heavy - carrying them by hand risks slipping and scratching the surface. With vacuum equipment, the biggest concern is losing suction mid-lift without the operator noticing in time.
FullSharp installs a pneumatic vacuum sheet manipulator whose suction head presses onto the sheet surface and lifts it straight up. The system includes a low-vacuum alarm so the operator can set the sheet down before the vacuum reaches a dangerous level.

The alarm triggers early when vacuum drops, giving the operator time to set the sheet down.
Soft suction pads contact the surface, leaving no marks the way mechanical clamps do.
The pneumatic assist carries the load, so repeated lifting doesn't tire the operator out.
FullSharp measures the sheet size, thickness and weight, and checks the surface condition to select the number of suction cups and pad type. Our engineers also set the alarm threshold and signal type to suit the noise level in your workshop. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
