Handling
Manual handling with added value
Schmalz exhibited at LogiMAT under the motto "More than just movement", including robot grippers for handling entire layers and a compressed air-free vacuum system.
The JumboFlex Picker now lifts packages weighing up to 50 kilograms. Another exhibit was the JumboFlex Weight-Control. With its integrated weighing device, the user can immediately see the weight of the lifted load. They can read the result in kilograms, tare and define limits via a display. A light strip provides a visual indication of whether the limit value has been met or exceeded. All Jumbo models have been AGR-certified since summer 2022: The Aktion Gesunder Rücken (Campaign for Healthy Backs) association has put the load lifting systems under the ergonomic microscope and recognized them as a back-friendly product. This also includes the Jumbo Ergo 85, which interested visitors to LogiMAT were able to compare with other manual lifting solutions.
