Working principle
The VMCs can lift coils by means of a vacuum between the coil and the vacuumplate. The vacuum is generated by means of a air supplied venturi. To operate the vacuummanipulator, all you need is compressed air of 5 6 bar and a hoist that can lift at least the same lifting capacity as the VMC. The electronics of the VMC are powered by penlite batteries.
Safety first
As you can see, the VMCs are suitable for a weight of up to 700 kg. When handling products of such weight safety is a very important issue. During the design of the VMCs the biggest possible attention was paid to this aspect. The design complies with international standards as mentioned in European directive (98/37/CE).
The VMC comes with a vacuum sensing system that warns the user if the vacuum is insufficient to lift the coil. Also, the VMC can only be shut down by a two action control. This prevents accidental shutdown during handling, and ensures that the hands of the user are in a safe position during shutdown. Besides these electronic safety features, the VMCs have mechanical locks that hold the coil in position during handling and in case of malfunctions.
