PRESS SHOPIn the automotive industry, the press shop is where metal sheets (plates) are turned into pressed parts such as hoods, roofs, and much more.

In this process step, Schmalz vacuum tube lifters are used to place pressed parts such as cross beams, roofs, and hoods into the provided transport containers. The tube lifters are equipped with special suction cups which do not deform the components and can adapt to free-form surfaces. They are able to apply extremely high lateral forces even on oiled surfaces. This ensures flexible handling of the components in a rapid and safe manner.

Disposal on the press line



BODY SHOPDepending on the level of automation, the body in white produced during body construction is frequently manufactured with the aid of industrial robots. Schmalz vacuum tube lifters are particularly useful in the case of a minimal level of automation, but their main application in the field of body making is as an emergency strategy.

In this process step, Schmalz vacuum tube lifters are used to transfer car body parts from load carriers into specific equipment or to load welding cells.


Handling of car body parts



PAINT SHOP

Virtually all process steps in the paint shop are now fully automated, though barrels and other small containers can still be found in most cases. The tube lifter JumboFlex is the ideal tool for handling these small containers.


Ergonomic tube lifter for trunks


Schmalz vacuum tube lifters are the perfect solution for handling smaller containers, such as barrels, in paint shops.

Combined with our Aluminium crane systems, the JumboFlex is also a perfect lifting device fortrunks and hoods. Due to the flexibility of the tube lifter, new and additional derivatives andmodels can usually also be handeled without big investments.


PLASTIC PART MANUFACTURINGGranulates, semi-finished products, and even complete assemblies are handled in the field of plastic part manufacturing. Schmalz vacuum tube lifters are ideally suited to handling assemblies, bags, and semi-finished products such as tanks.


Handling of tanks



Solutions for the automotive industryProcesses and Applications

ASSEMBLY AND FINAL ASSEMBLYManual work is a prominent part of assembly processes. The demands placed on an assembly worker are very high. Consequently, the potential health hazards are also significant. Yet handling solutions are only accepted if they do not impact upon productivity. As a result, simple operation, safety, and dynamic performance are core requirements.

In this assembly environment, Schmalz tube lifters are used to transport the workpieces. The vacuum tube lifters are employed in virtually all handling processes outside the vehicle:


Solutions for the automotive industryProcesses and Applications

LOGISTICSThe production logistics in an automotive plant ensure the smooth and punctual flow of materials. The complete spectrum of parts is affected by the production logistics. The workpieces must be made available on the line either as sorted parts or in sequences. Vacuum technology from Schmalz implements these processes either manually or automatically. The dynamic performance of tube lifters ensures that everything arrives at the right time.

HANDLING WITHOUT / WITH MINIMAL MARKSThe marks left by a suction cup are dictated by its design and its material. The design affects the behavior of the suction cup when lifting and depositing a workpiece – the relative movement of the sealing lip on the glass surface. The more movement occurs, the greater the risk of marks, either due to the material itself or the environmental dirt that has settled on the suction cup. Of course, the material of the suction cup also has a huge impact on the marks that it leaves. The HT1 material from Schmalz produces excellent results in this regard – mark-free and minimal chemical fingerprint.

• Ergonomic lifting of rubber bales and loading of conveyor belts in upper layers.

• Particularly back-friendly handling of rubber bales in far lower layers.

SAFE, FAST AND GENTLE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEESThe Jumbo Low-Stack from Schmalz is the ideal and ergonomic handling solution for picking up workpieces from deep layers or for deep immersion in transport containers.Due to the high handling unit design, the control unit is guided in front of the body even in low positions. This prevents the operator's upper body from being above the control unit.If the raw rubber bales are quickly released from one another, the operator is thus protected from facial injuries. The vertical arrangement of the control handle prevents injuries to fingers and hands.

Vacuum Handling SystemsHighlights

Greifer zur Handhabung von Bremsscheiben

Working ergonomicallyMusculoskeletal disorders are the most common reason for absence and sick leave from work. One particular cause of these disorders is lifting and carrying loads during the workday. Even when handling lighter loads, employees often move several tons per shift. For this reason, experts recommend using lifting aids for frequent lifting and carrying, even of lighter loads. Vacuum handling systems from Schmalz are the perfect tools for lifting and carrying both light and heavy loads. The ergonomic working posture is gentle on the spine and back muscles, thus minimizing the risk of absences due to employee injuries.

Increased productivityVacuum handling systems from Schmalz makeyour working processes more ergonomic andmore productive: Handling speeds remain at a consistently high level Reduced work-related strain increases employee motivation Unproductive downtimes, such as during machine loading, are

reduced Gentle handling minimizes waste
