The company "Wilhelm" Designmöbel & Holzbearbeitung GmbH (WDH) in 04509 Delitzsch, manufacturers and suppliers of high-quality furniture and components for the bodies of pianos decided to purchase a vacuum lifting device of the type VacuMaster Light 100-4.

This vacuum lifting device is a universal and flexible device for very easy handling of unwieldy and heavy sheet materials weighing up to 35 kg. Depending on the task and the dimensions of the workpieces, the four suction pads, which are mounted on cross-beams, can be adjusted individually and quickly. This avoids waiting times in the flexible CNC machining of a wide range of different components.

The vacuum lifting devices of the type VacuMaster Light can be suspended from cranes, resulting in a relatively large working area which extends over the working space of the machine and its surroundings. The light weight of the VacuMaster Light means that the maximum load of the crane is reduced only slightly. The lifting device can also be moved around easily, since the vacuum is generated with the aid of compressed air, which means that only a compressed-air hose has to be moved with the device.

The four suction pads are mounted on flexible mountings, allowing them to tilt to match the orientation of the workpiece surface.
