With multiple suction ports, these lifters can grip, lift, and move large items with a variety of surfaces. The suction ports come installed on a single manifold, so there’s no need to build your own platform. All of these lifters are designed for use with compressed air, which the manifold distributes to the ports. Also known as venturi devices, they generate suction without an installed vacuum system.

These lifters have a lightweight aluminum housing that withstands corrosion. T-slotted mounting rails on the housing make it easy to connect these lifters to T-slotted framing components that are often used with robot-arm tools. A metal filter on all the vacuum ports keeps debris from entering the vacuum passage.

Use the additional port on these lifters with a pressure transmitter (not included). Your transmitter will convert air pressure to an electrical signal for viewing air measurements on remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Lifters with cups have flexible accordion-style cups that are best for gripping irregular shapes. Those with more bellows are better for handling items that have more variations in shape. Made of Buna-N rubber, all of the cups stand up to abrasion and oil.

Use the optional robot adapter plates to attach these lifters to robot arms with ISO mounting patterns. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

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