The production of
Acimex consists in vacuum handling systems, vacuum automatic pick
and place systems, vacuum clamping and all other applications of
vacuum handling.

How vacuum operates
:
By creating vacuum,
we take off atmospheric pressure which is 1 kg/cm2 (variable between
950 and 1050 millibars). Therefore the product is pressed against
the pad with a force of 1 kgs/cm2.
On a vacuum pad of
1 m2 we get a pressure of 10 000 Kgs.
This physical fact
leads to a very efficiency handling system.

There are, at
least, four main advantages for using vacuum lifters :
1 – Fast speed of
operating
In one second the
vacuum contained in a vacuum tank is transmitted to the pad; sucking
is instantaneous.
In two seconds the vacuum in the pad returned to atmospheric pressure;
the releasing is
instantaneous.
2 – Safety
The vacuum of a
lifter is always coming from a tank. This reserve maintains load
several hours in case of power cut of the vacuum pump.
The vacuum level is
permanently controlled. A sensor indicates the eventuality of a leak
and when the load must be released. As long as vacuum is existing in
the pad the load cannot drop. This is a physical rule.
3 – Financial
The use of a vacuum
lifter allows a reduction of employees on stocking areas. The
sucking and releasing can be done by only one man : the crane
conductor. In many cases, it is possible to reduce the number
of workers having hard and dangerous work.
Cost save also
exists in the speed as handling with vacuum devices is very quick.
Vacuum handling
device leaves no marks on product and allows handling of delicate
material.

– Easy lifting
As vacuum pads
act on the upper side, the positionning becomes easy, as well as the
picking, placing and releasing. This is one of great advantage to
use vacuum lifters for transport of loads.
