Vacuum Manipulators for Glass, Panels and sheets
The Glassful & Panelful from BPM are pneumatic rope-system manipulators designed for safe, ergonomic handling of glass, metal, wood and composite panels. These manipulators are part of the FastTrack range of pre-engineered lifting systems available with industry-beating lead times from approximately 4 weeks. The pneumatic lift system allows “weightless” balancing, helping operators lift, move and position products with less physical strain and greater control.
Its modular design allows it to be supplied as column-mounted, overhead or rail-mounted systems, making it suitable for production, packing and warehouse environments.
