CATHAYLIFT electric sheet metal suction cup vehicle represents a major breakthrough in modern industrial handling technology. Its core value lies in solving the efficiency and safety pain points in the handling of metal and glass sheets. The equipment realizes non-destructive transfer of heavy materials through the principle of vacuum adsorption: the electric vacuum pump generates negative pressure, so that the imported silicone suction cup (three-layer sealing ring design) forms a strong molecular-level connection with the metal surface of iron plate, steel plate, aluminum plate, stainless steel, etc. This adsorption mechanism completely avoids the scratches or deformation of the sheet metal caused by traditional mechanical clamping, especially meeting the strict requirements of precision manufacturing industry for material integrity.
Key technological breakthroughs
- Multi-scenario adaptive system
Adjustable design of suction cup and crossbeam position, suitable for plates of different sizes (maximum compatibility with large workshop-level glass)
CATHAYLIFT-XC model supports continuous 360° rotation and electric suction and deflation, breaking through space operation limitations
Wear-resistant outdoor drive wheels combined with side support leg structure to ensure the stability of outdoor heavy-duty installation
- Intelligent control system
Dual system control architecture (barometer imported from Japan + air pressure pump imported from Europe) to achieve double safety protection
Vacuum accumulator with sound prompt device to ensure that the adsorption force is maintained for ≥20 minutes in case of sudden power failure
Energy-saving vacuum generator reduces 30% lower energy consumption, significantly reducing operating costs
- Ergonomic optimization
Handle integrated control: single handle controls vehicle forward and backward, lifting and horn functions
Electromagnetic brake system response speed <0.3 seconds, joystick limit position automatically triggers brakes
Multi-layer rocker mechanism realizes electric flipping, reducing labor intensity
Industry application verification
In the field of automobile manufacturing, the equipment successfully solves the problem of precise handling of body steel plates (thickness 0.7-2.5mm), and the handling efficiency is improved by 400%; in building curtain wall projects, its horizontal adjustment function realizes the safe lifting of 2.5×6m ultra-large glass, and the accident rate is reduced to 0.02%. Currently, more than 80% of high-end glass deep processing companies in the world have incorporated it into the standard production process.
Technical evolution direction
The new generation of models will integrate IoT remote monitoring system to transmit parameters such as adsorption pressure and equipment inclination to the central control console in real time. German TÜV certification shows that its load-to-weight ratio has reached the industry limit of 8:1, which marks that vacuum handling technology has officially entered the era of high-load intelligence.
