Industrial applications of Vacohub Lubas handling systems
Vacohub Lubas GmbH (Dormagen, Germany) engineers heavy-duty vacuum lifting beams, vertical and horizontal stackers, and suction belt lines for steel mills, pipe fabrication, glass processing, timber plants, shipbuilding, and wind energy.
Verified configurations cover 4–40 mm steel plates up to 8000 kg (VAC400, VAC657), 450 C hot aluminum slabs up to 6600 kg (VAC443), copper anodes (VAC441), 14000 mm sandwich panels (VAC303), slit strip coils (VAC598), and glass sheets (VAC328, VAC412).
Configuration selection and component replacement
Crane operations with heavy plates use VAC400 or VAC657 beams equipped with 20 to 40 suction pads, while high-throughput lines for 0.4–10 mm steel, aluminum, and stainless sheets run suspended belt stackers VAC486, VAC455, and VAC288 up to 81 m/min.
Equipment packages integrate factory-vulcanized suction pads, Saugringe sealing rings, filler discs, bi-stable REMA 771206 valves (24VDC/60VDC/230VAC), MagFlow 782605 roller table rollers, and ARGUS 782783,3 signal lamps.
