A commercial refrigeration unit manufacturer needed a lift to handle a variety of end-panels for final assembly. Suction head fixtures were developed to interface with the various panels, including a specialized fixture for drawing vacuum on diamond tread plate. The lift includes a high flow vacuum system powered by a compressed air connection and utilizing two Venturi vacuum pumps to create sufficient suction for a secure lift on smooth surfaces or the diamond plate. A lateral shuttle module allows the operator to precisely position the panel for installation.
