Which three criteria should be taken into account when choosing a vacuum lifter? Holger Brechtelsbauer, Senior Product Manager for Vacuum Lifting Equipment at HEGLA, answers:
- Efficiency and adaptation: The ideal lifting equipment should be compatible with frequently used pane formats and weights, but not oversized.
- Safety and user-friendliness: Operator safety is the highest priority. Ergonomic designs such as pillar-guided systems ensure stability and precise freedom of movement, resulting in greatly increased user comfort.
- Fit for the future, thanks to integration: In digitalised production, the handling device remains a central link. Its integration in digital processes – e.g. through laser marking or label scans – enables flexible and efficient communication between machine and operator.
Early, holistic planning is the key to optimised processes.
