Self-priming vacuum manipulator VMS 400
|
|
Self-priming vacuum manipulator VMS 400 is designed to manipulate with flat freight with relatively clean, even and hermetical surfaces. These can be metal sheets and plates from various material: e.g. ferrous and nonferrous metals, magnetic and non-magnetic metals, plastic, glass, stone, wood etc.
|
The vacuum manipulator does not need outer power supply. By pulling the lifting loop of the manipulator, we lift the piston, under which vacuum forms. As a result the ambient (atmospheric) pressure pushes the freight to the manipulator with force proportional to the weight of the freight.
A vacuometer and a pressure drop indicator are parts of the manipulator. The pressure drop indicator remembers the vacuum input quantity when lifting the freight and if the vacuum quantity drops by 20% an optical and acoustic signalling is activated. Two alkaline batteries with the life up to one year supply the pressure drop indicator.
|
The manipulation with freights by means of vacuum manipulator is very easy thanks to a special cam mechanism that enables continuous lifting and laying of the freight without any interference by the operating staff. The operation staff controls only the crane.
|
The vacuum manipulator can be hung on a hook of the lifting device, e.g. a crane, electric tackle, hand tackle, cantilever crane, etc.
