Cutting-Edge Products Reinterpreted

Eurotech imple­ments stan­dard­ised and cus­tomised han­dling and trans­port solu­tions in the field of vac­u­um tech­nol­o­gy. With three brand new prod­ucts, Eurotech will demon­strate its com­pe­tence at the inter­na­tion­al trade fair for sheet met­al pro­cess­ing, the Blech­ex­po, from Novem­ber 5 to 8. In addi­tion to a new eT-Hov­er-pan­el series lift­ing device for removal of nar­row high-bay draw­er racks, the vac­u­um spe­cial­ist has expand­ed its prod­uct port­fo­lio with oth­er eT-Hov­er-mod­esty series lift­ing devices. Anoth­er focus of this year’s Blech­ex­po will be the elec­tron­ic hand­held suc­tion device, type Nemo, which will also be avail­able for testing.

Blech­ex­po vis­i­tors can see and test the new prod­ucts and solu­tions, spe­cialised for the sheet met­al pro­cess­ing indus­try, in Hall 3, Booth 3412. The vac­u­um lift­ing devices of the eT-Hov­er fam­i­ly are used for lift­ing vac­u­um-sealed, flat loads, such as glass panes, sheet met­al and plas­tic or wood­en boards. The lift­ing devices of the eT-Hov­er-pan­el series start at a load capac­i­ty of 250 kg. Depend­ing on the base frame and equip­ment, such as lon­gi­tu­di­nal cross beam and suc­tion plate selec­tion, a max­i­mum load capac­i­ty of up to 4,000 kg can be achieved. As an exten­sion of this series, a very flat ver­sion was designed for removal from nar­row high-bay draw­er racks. Things are made eas­i­er by a tele­scop­ic and swiv­el­ling han­dle with oper­at­ing pan­el, which is also used in oth­er mod­els. The oper­at­ing pan­el can be used to con­trol all rel­e­vant process­es if the user desires. A vac­u­um pump with an inte­grat­ed non-return valve gen­er­ates the vac­u­um. Devices of this design are cur­rent­ly avail­able with a load capac­i­ty of 500 or 750 kg.

The eT-Hov­er-mod­esty series lift­ing devices serve as an alter­na­tive to sim­i­lar, more exten­sive­ly equipped devices. Devices of this series are equipped with two han­dles for easy manoeu­vring and posi­tion­ing. Despite its sim­ple design, it ful­fills all required func­tions. The devices can be rotat­ed pneu­mat­i­cal­ly, but can option­al­ly also be rotat­ed man­u­al­ly. The new fea­ture of this series is a ver­sion that pneu­mat­i­cal­ly enables to swiv­el of the work­pieces by 90°. Lift­ing devices of this series are oper­at­ed entire­ly with com­pressed air; there­fore an elec­tri­cal con­nec­tion is not nec­es­sary. Due to their com­pact design and vac­u­um gen­er­a­tion by an ejec­tor, these lift­ing devices have a very low dead weight.

The Nemo type elec­tron­ic suc­tion device, mod­i­fied by Eurotech, is a mobile, elec­tron­ic, hand­held suc­tion device. With a hold­ing force of up to 170 kg, the Nemo can be used on just about any sur­face. This hand­held suc­tion device makes it pos­si­ble to eas­i­ly move var­i­ous mate­ri­als and place them down safe­ly. The vac­u­um pump installed in the han­dle gen­er­ates the nec­es­sary vac­u­um to hold the work­piece steadi­ly. The installed vac­u­um meter with red/green area is used for mon­i­tor­ing. The vac­u­um pump is equipped with an econ­o­my cir­cuit. Once the pump reach­es the safe neg­a­tive pres­sure, it will be switched off. If the vac­u­um in the suc­tion device drops, it will auto­mat­i­cal­ly switch on again. The Nemo bat­tery-pow­ered, hand­held, suc­tion device is the per­fect addi­tion to the tool kit for a wide vari­ety of pro­fes­sion­als – from con­struc­tion pro­fes­sion­als and ware­house employ­ees to ser­vice and work­shop employ­ees. In all sec­tors, where heavy lift­ing is the order of the day, this pow­er­ful tool min­imis­es the risk of dam­ag­ing expen­sive mate­ri­als. Nemo max­imis­es pro­duc­tiv­i­ty while reduc­ing the phys­i­cal workload.
