These large-surface lifters come with software, robot tool mounts, and connectors for quick setup and use with FANUC CRX robot arms. Using compressed air through multiple suction ports, they lift larger and heavier items than standard vacuum lifters. Also known as venturi devices, they generate suction without an installed vacuum system. To view data and adjust settings in a smartphone app, hold a phone that can read near-field communication (NFC) up to one of the NFC tags on these lifters. A digital display lets you read measurements while standing next to them.

These lifters have an IP40 rating, meaning that they keep out objects 1 mm or larger—such as wire—to protect their inner parts. They also meet ISO/TS 15066—with no pinch points or sharp edges, you can safely use them on robots that will be near people.

Lifters with cups grip irregularly shaped items better than lifters with a pad.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
