Vacuum Tube Lifters JumboFlex

The vacuum tube lifter JumboFlex allows you to move lighter goods up to 50 kg ergonomically and with high cycle rates. The control handle fits comfortably in the hand and allows the operator to work for a long period of time without fatigue. With simple one-finger control, lifting, lowering and releasing the load is extremely intuitive. The JumboFlex’ wide range of features allows it to tackle virtually any task. It comes standard with a quick-change system for replacing the vacuum grippers. Workpieces which are gripped from the vertical side automatically swing back into the horizontal position where they can be continuously rotated.

Application

Ergonomic movement of compact goods up to 50 kg at high cycle frequencies
Ensuring efficient material flow in e.g. intralogistic areas by effortless movement of diverse goods
Loading and unloading of plants and machines with high throughput
Ergonomic assistance for commissioning packages and for loading sorting and distribution machines
Workpieces that are picked up from the side automatically swing back into the horizontal position where they can be continuously rotated
