AiroLift Rigid Manupulator on Articulating Jib Crane with Powered Extended Reach

Our new rigid system is an addition to the AiroLift product line/ this system incorporates a special “Heavy Duty Four Point Radial Contact Bearing” top swivel and a side linear bearing for extra support. This rigid manipulator has all of the benefits of a regular AiroLift such as light weight and lower cost, but is completely rigid. The powered extended reach can be a benefit for those difficult areas with no overhead clearance.

AiroLift with Clamping Attachment

This unit was designed to pneumatically clamp a “heated” glass crucible with a capacity of 120 lbs. The attachment has a 16″ clamping range, the arms are shielded and the pads are heat resistant to protect from a maximum temperature of 1000°F. No rotation is needed. Our standard handle in included.

AiroLift with Cheese Barrel Rotator

This unit was designed to pneumatically clamp cheese into a fiber barrel, lift and rotate 180°. The maximum capacity is 750 lbs with a 40″ vertical lift. This unit is constructed of stainless steel, including the bellows cover and top swivel assembly. The operator has total control in the high and/or low stacking mode due to dual controls. Increase productivity by suspending this AiroLift from a single girder, enclosed track system. Are there applications in your territory?

AiroLift with Bag Clamping Fixture

This unit was designed to retrieve up to a 250 lb, poly-type bag of beans. The attachment encapsulates the bag on the floor or on a pallet so to keep the integrity of the 24″ x 38″ bags while lifting. After lifting the attachment will have an instantaneous/rapid release after the operator positions the bag in its target area. The result, a highly productive and ergonomically safe operator. Are the applications in your territory?

AiroLift with 90° upender and 360° Swivel at Cup

This unit was designed for a national manufacturer of computer equipment. The unit has 60 lb maximum capacity and 30″ of vertical lift available. The attachment incorporates a 90° upender, a low profile rotary joint (2.25″) and a 360° swivel at the cup. The sequence of operation is to pick the server from a conveyor, rotate for inspection, place Styrofoam inserts on each end, “downend” and place into box. Are there application in your territory?

AiroLift with a Vacuum/Clamping Attachment

Industry: Electronics Conec Unit: A700-62-V/C
Attachment: Vacuum & Clamping Capacity: 780 lbs.
Vertical Lift: 61″ Clamping Range: 30″ – 75″

Brief Description: This unit was manufactured for high cycles, it has suction cups that will automatically actuate depending on the size of the product they are lifting and is constructed of aluminum. The unit also has a dual pump safety system to protect against catastrophic air loss and safety interlocks to prevent the operator from releasing the load while lifting. The unit was designed to lift the TV’s and slowly lower into a box/ The ergonomic handle/control panel is extended, vertical and adjustable.

AiroLift with Manual Rotator

Industry: Electronics Conec Unit: A700-62-V/C Attachment: Vacuum & Clamping
Capacity: 780 lbs. Vertical Lift: 61″ Clamping Range: 30″ – 75″

This unit was designed to pneumatically clamp a drum and/or filter, lift and manually dump up to 350 lbs capacity. This hand wheel, for manual dumping, offers a 20:1 reduction on lighter capacities and a 40:1 for heavier capacities. As an option, we can incorporate two speeds. A high speed lift and creep speed for accurate positioning. This is a competitive alternative to a pneumatic drum rotator. Are there applications in your territory?

Producer Increases Efficiency, Productivity, And Safety With Lift Assist Industrial Manipulator

Case Study
by Richard Hunt

The Client and Its Challenge:

This global diversified and innovative technology producer of thousands of products in dozens of diverse markets manually lifted, handled, and packed heavy, pressure-sensitive rolls of consumer labels for shipment. Each shift handled a couple hundred rolls, ranging from 50 to 250 pounds each, exposing the workers to potential back injury and the company to subsequent costly workers’ compensation claims.

The AiroLift Solution:

An AiroLift industrial manipulator lifting device was custom designed with adjustable capacities to lift, upend, and lower pressure-sensitive rolls ranging in size, diameter, and dimensions.

Our AirOlift specialist remained on-site during installation and start-up and conducted a training course to demonstrate use of the equipment and the best practice for efficient operation and injury prevention.

The Results:

A review of the new process using the AiroLift lifting system showed that productivity was up 40% in comparison to the previous method of manual roll handling. In increased productivity alone, a study showed that the company’s investment into the AiroLift lift assist industrial manipulator was returned in about two years.

In a recent interview, the maintenance manager of the facility had this to say about the industrial manipulator that he originally purchased nearly a decade ago, “We’ve had no breakdowns… It’s a workhorse that helps our operations lift product as safely and productively as possible. I can’t imagine operating without it”. He added that “it has saved wear and tear on (their) people and boosted morale”. Since installing the original custom designed lift assist industrial manipulator, the plant has eliminated lift-related injuries in that part of the plant process.
