The company Fenster- und Rollladenwerk Hoffmann GmbH & Co. KG in Wenden-Gerlingen, Germany, (www.fenster-hoffmann.de) has been manufacturing windows for 50 years. A solution for their shipping department was sought to place the elements, which were ever increasing in variety and more importantly, in weight, on the different transport frames with the greatest possible efficiency.

The new device generation for the construction site

At glasstec 2010, the RUCH Griesemer AG (www.ruchgriesemer.ch) made a decision for the Kombi 7411-DS3. Because of its size adjustments, this device can be very flexibly deployed and in the process, is absolutely safe. The vacuum lifting device has four separate vacuum circuits. The greatest advantage of this device series is that if one vacuum circuit should fail, the three remaining independent vacuum circuits remain unaffected. Especially in the case of larger vacuum lifting devices, this brings enormous savings. First, the number of suction cups is minimized; second, suction time is shortened. The employees at Ruch Griesemer AG had recognised this and even during the trade fair, convinced their manager of the advantages of this device.

Manipulation device 7025-C-1000, the production device for heavy weights

Verres Industriels (also known by the name VIM), today AGC Verres Industriels S.A., in Moutier (Switzerland), is a company with a rich tradition. Now we have developed a new type of device for them, the manipulation device 7025-C-1000. For their production of safety glass, Verres Industriels needed a secure vacuum lifting device near the grinding machine to tilt (vertical to horizontal and vice versa) glass panes of up to 1000 kg. Especially for classes C and D of the laminated glass THRIGLAS, which are bullet- and even explosion-proof, small sizes are also characterised by extreme weights. The stable design and fast operating cycles of this development from Pannkoke received an enthusiastic response from the employees at Verres Industriels.
