Aircraft Component Installation Vacuum Lift

A global aircraft manufacturer needed to handle fiberglass nose cones throughout their process. The size and shape of the nose cone posed a challenge, and the customer needed to rotate the porous component into several orientations. A knuckling vacuum system with compliant suction cups proved to be the best solution that provided a safe and reliable system that one operator could use to handle a bulky component, thus reducing labor hours and potential damage to a critical component.

Vacuum lifters offer a number of advantages over other types of lifting equipment, including:

Safety: Vacuum lifters create a safe and secure grip on the object being lifted, which helps to prevent accidental drops.

Precision: Vacuum lifters can be precisely controlled, which allows them to be used to position components in tight spaces.

Damage prevention: Vacuum lifters do not come into contact with the surface of the object being lifted, which helps to prevent scratches and other damage.

Efficiency: Vacuum lifters can be used to quickly and easily lift and position aircraft components.
