Lifting Device for Cutting Table: Tips on Selection

What should we consider in the selection of a lifting device for steel plate cutting?

In this passage, we’ll share how to select a high cost-effective lifting device for cutting table.
The loading and unloading of steel plate cutting is an essential part of the sheet metal processing. Steel cutting line (flame cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting, etc.) usually requires lifting single whole plate at a time. After cutting, all cut workpieces are unloaded from the cutting table at once or as many as possible. So what should we consider in the selection of lifters for steel plate cutting?

1. Work efficiency

High-efficient loading and unloading can save enterprise production time and improve production capacity. In the selection of lifter, it’s essential to take the efficiency factor into account. The traditional lifters need more than one person to cooperate. From what our customers feedback, the clamps and clings for steel plate lifting are more time consuming and inefficient. But lifting magnet can solve the time and efficiency problem.

2. Safety

Needless to address the importance of safety during structural fabrication and engineering machinery manufacturing. Clamps, hooks, clings, and wire ropes have high safety hazards. Because hook and clamp is unstable, and the steel plate shakes and even falls down. So some enterprises introduce electromagnetic lifter. However, this kind of lifter will lose magnetism immediately in case of power failure. Even if it is equipped with a power-failure-protection system, the cost of maintenance and the consumption of electricity is high. Now under the circumstance of global “carbon neutrality”, electric power resources are scarce, the situation of enterprise power limitation happens from time to time. So lifting magnet, with the least energy-consumption and high safety, is our optimal choice.

3. Post-maintenance

All equipment needs to be cared and maintained regularly. But the more frequent the maintenance, the more loss for the production. Hooks and clamps look easy to maintain, but their inconvenient and unsafe usage has outweighed the easy maintenance. Electromagnet? As has been said above, too costly and frequent maintenance. Electro permanent lifting magnet has the least maintenance.
HVR Magnetics has developed electro permanent magnetic lifting system with matrix and dense magnetic field. The product is highly suitable for cutting line. It can realize the completion of loading and unloading in one time, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the efficiency of material handling. And a lot of time and money can be saved in maintenance. You are looking for lifting device for cutting table? Let us help you!
