MULTILIFT V features

Large working area• Vertical entry into the mould

• Generous axis lengths

• Configuration ideally suitable for- the placement and integration

of peripheral devicesof peripheral devices

- complex applications



Flexible part set-down• Precise parts handling –

Basic equipment with- three electric movement axesthree electric movement axes

- one pneumatic gripper axis

• Hence pickup and set-downare freely programmable

• Numerous solutions available for mould and gripper technologyfor mould and gripper technology



Customisation options• Variable axis strokes for

individual working areas

T l i ti l i• Telescopic vertical axis for lower overall height

• Dynamic vertical axis forDynamic vertical axis for shorter action times

• Additional gripper axis for f fset-down of the finished parts in

a variety of rotational positions


Different designs

Transverse design above fixed mounting platen• Standard solution offers

- short distances and fast cycles

especially generous working areas- especially generous working areas

• Handling weight* either- 6 or 15 kg – in cantilever designg g

- 25 kg – in overhead design


* depending on the machine size

- optimum access to the mouldfrom the rear of the machine

small footprint space above- small footprint - space above clamping unit can be used


Range of applications

High degree of functionality in a confined space• Installation ideally suitable for

- Low-ceiling factories

Clean room applications- Clean room applications

- Interlinking of several machines

- Vertical machines

• Peripherals can be integrated in robotic control system

Thi it f th i• This permits further savings thanks to a single control system



Advanced parts handling• Robots offer perfection in motion

• Flexible parts handling through lti l f timultiple axes of motion

• Ideal for highly complex handling tasks such ashandling tasks such as- Contour re-working of moulded parts

- Complex mould-entry operations

• Reducing the complexity of grippers and peripheral equipment possible



Finishing and re-working robots• Two or three robots in

one production cell

Th l i t• The usual convenient operation, such as- Central starting and stopping of production

- Central acknowledgement of alarms

- Coordinated moving to home position

- Individual sequences for the first/last cycled dua seque ces o e s / as cyc e

• Secured operating zone
