GLASS VACUUM LIFTER
RIGHETTI GL16C-RCMBM

• Eliminates the need for unsafe and time-consuming lifting mechanisms such as hooks, slings or chains
• Less downtime between lifts
• Can lift material without displacing adjacent pieces
• Creates a powerful positive engagement of the load (hooks, slings and chains can shift or come loose, endangering employees)
• Reduces or eliminates need to use ropes to orient safetly the load
• Vacuum lifting systems are able to go where people should not be
• Audio alarms indicate unsafe lifting environments

A vacuum glass lifter is a lifting device, which, thanks to the vacuum created by a vacuum generator, permits fast and easy attachment, lifting and handling of sheets of glass. The vacuum is created by a vacuum generator supplied with electric pump ( AC, DC or battery powered ) or compressed air ( Venturi system).

Vacuum pump maintains a constant vacuum in the de-pressure reservoir, when activated, the system pulls a vacuum between the pad and object to be lifted, using a vacuum tank, previously loaded with the pump. Therefore the suction is immediate.

The structure of vacuum lifters may be fixed, tilting 0°-90° or rotating 360°. In relation to the weigth of the material to be lift, the vacuum lifters are comprised of two, four, six or more vacuum pads. Many models are available with extension or adjustable arms that offer a variety of pad configurations to accommodate difefrent load dimensions.

The control system varies depending on the models, in the case of models with manual movements, the controls for suction and release are present on the frame or can be controlled by radio, in models equipped with electric movements, the radio control controls each function. The on-board computer allows the machine to be switched on and off, monitors the status of the battery, provides information on the operation and any alarms, and integrates the function of economizing energy consumption

The observance of the EN 13155 Standard and other directives is essential to satisfying safety requirements. RIGHETTI has developed and designed avant-garde components to improve and perfect safety systems. A latest generation control unit, custom developed and designed suction cups, a vacuum system made to guarantee the best hold—these are just a few of the results achieved by our team of designers. The Righetti Vacuum Lifter are fully compliant with all the relevant norms for lifting equipments, included EN13155, and are manufactured according to the indications provided by UNI EN ISO 9001.
