Tilters for Glass Production by Wood's Powr-Grip®


Tilters for Glass Production by Wood's Powr-Grip®

When equipment requirements call for tilting glass 90° between upright and flat positions, a tilter or "upender" is employed. Powr-Grip Tilters help to increase speed and mobility for glass transfers to and from cutting tables or production machinery, while providing sufficient glass support and rigidity to avoid breakage during the tilt. Factors such as glass size, thickness and stress placed on the glass due to jarring or bumping are considered in the design of these vacuum lifters.

PT129AC Vacuum Lifter PT129AC • Power Tilter 1200
This vacuum lifter uses an electro-mechanical actuator to tilt large-dimension glass quickly and smoothly, reducing stress and the danger of glass breakage. Powered 90° tilt and a wide frame for the vacuum pads make the PT129AC Vacuum Lifter indispensable for transferring float glass to storage racks or performing similar production operations. A movable control pendant lets the operator control glass from a distance during the tilt cycle. 1200 lbs [545 kg] capacity.

MT49AC Vacuum Lifter MT49AC • Manual Tilter 500
Powr-Grip's Manual Tilters offer a more economical method of tilting glass. The pad frame of this vacuum lifter automatically latches in the upright position for transporting glass. Conveniently placed handles help keep the operator in control of the glass at all times. With an optional high-flow vacuum system, this vacuum lifter is ideal for even the most demanding glass production settings. 500 lbs [225 kg] capacity.

MT89AC Vacuum Lifter MT89AC • Manual Tilter 1000
Like the MT49AC Vacuum Lifter, the MT89AC Manual Tilter offers 90° tilt between upright and flat positions and a high-flow vacuum system. In addition to these advantages, this vacuum lifter can handle glass products with much larger dimensions. A movable control pendant also allows the operator to step out of the way while the glass is in motion. 1000 lbs [455 kg] capacity.

MTA Series • Quadra-Tilt Vacuum Lifters
Specially designed for handling windows and doors, Quadra-Tilt Vacuum Lifters feature variable pad spread that permits vacuum pads to attach in any number of locations on the glass. In addition to handling a variety of glass sizes and shapes, the vacuum pads can be positioned to avoid window mullions or similar obstructions on the load surface. Glass stays in the upright position automatically or tilts to the flat position with minimal operator effort, due to the innovative four-bar tilt mechanism.
MTA4LP6FAC & MTA6LP6FAC Vacuum Lifters MTA4LP6FAC & MTA6LP6FAC
Vacuum lifter with mechanically assisted, manual 90° tilt and multi-position arms for vacuum pads. Available in 200 lbs [90 kg] capacity (with 4 vacuum pads) or 300 lbs [135 kg] capacity (with 6 vacuum pads).

PT410AC Vacuum Lifter PT410AC • Windshield Power Tilter
Designed specifically for lifting and tilting bullet-proof glass, this vacuum lifter provides powered 90° tilt between upright and flat positions. Concave vacuum pads swivel to accommodate windshields with various curvatures. A movable control pendant allows the operator to work from the most suitable location on the production line. 500 lbs [225 kg] capacity.

PTH49AIR Vacuum Lifter PTH49AIR • Air-Powered Tilter 500 with Integrated Hoist
Specifically designed to operate in production environments, this air-powered tilter comes standard with an integrated hoist that operates on the same compressed air supply that the lifter uses to tilt the glass. Controls for the hoist are conveniently located on the vacuum lifter. The integrated air cylinder design brings rigidity to the lifter/hoist combination, eliminating chain slap and sway found in conventional hoists. Coupled with a ball-joint mount, this hoist provides quicker, more precise handling and placement of glass on the production line, without sacrificing maneuverability. The ingeniously designed hoist cylinder has separate chambers for air and hydraulic fluid, which fill or drain as needed to minimize motion drift and to eliminate bumps and jerks, which otherwise could compromise the safety of the glass being handled. 500 lbs [225 kg] capacity.
