Vacuum Lifters for Glass Production by Wood's Powr-Grip®
Powr-Grip Production Lifters maneuver glass quickly and effortlessly between cutting tables, transfer racks and production equipment. Built to handle the day-to-day demands of the production line, these durable and dependable vacuum lifters help speed production, reduce operator fatigue and injuries, and minimize glass damage. As a result, profitability, productivity and worker satisfaction can all be increased with Powr-Grip vacuum lifters.
Rotator / Tilters
Designed for the production line, these vacuum lifters combine 90° powered tilt with either manual or powered 360° rotation. Power Rotator / Tilters perform powered rotation and tilting of glass at the touch of a switch. Manual Rotator / Power Tilter models offer effortless powered tilt, combined with smooth and easy manual rotation that locks automatically at the quarter points.
Rotators
Powr-Grip Rotators allow the glass to rotate edgewise along the vertical axis of the vacuum lifter, for loading and turning lites on vertical edgers, bevelers or similar production machinery. In most cases, these vacuum lifters provide 360° of continuous rotation, to ensure quick and accurate glass positioning. Available with either manual or powered rotation, Powr-Grip Rotators are built for heavy-duty production line service.
Tilters
Powr-Grip Manual and Power Tilters make a one-person job of transferring glass between upright and flat positions. These vacuum lifters are indispensable for moving lites from crates or cutting tables to A-frame racks, truck racks or vertical production machinery. Powr-Grip Tilters reduce the risk of glass damage by distributing the load weight equally across the pad frame, providing support while the glass is in motion.
Vertical Lifters
These Powr-Grip vacuum lifters are designed for upright glass handling. Gentle Giants provide needed support and rigidity across the glass surface when handling jumbo lites. The smaller Production Line Vertical Lifters attach and release in seconds, reducing transfer time to and from high-speed processing machinery. Other Vertical Lifters from Wood's Powr-Grip employ manual or DC-powered vacuum pumps, allowing cord-free operation of these vacuum lifters in a variety of production settings.
C-Frame Lifters
The unique shape of Powr-Grip C-Frame Lifters enables the operator to remove glass easily from shipping crates. These vacuum lifters employ a C-shaped lift bar to reach directly into open glass crates. Available in rotation, tilt and vertical lift models, C-Frames are rugged vacuum lifters designed for long service on production lines.
