Thanks to the area suction grippers, the tube lifter can easily handle workpieces with very porous surfaces as well as holes, joints and gaps. With the help of integrated flow valves, air is only absorbed where there is a contact between the gripper and the workpiece. The areas which are not covered (holes, cracks, gaps,...) close automatically and prevent air from being absorbed into the system avoiding any risks of accidents. With an integrated ejector, the area suction grippers are supplied directly from your compressed air system.
