A New Approach to High Velocity Aluminum Destacking

Demand for stamped and formed aluminum components for vehicles has never been higher, but many shops face slower cycle times due to the difficulty of quickly destacking aluminum blanks. This new approach can significantly increase destacking speed up to 18 parts per minute with no multiple blanks – a significant productivity gain compared to the typical 12 parts per minute.

Suction Cups for Handling Oily Sheet Metal

Bellows Flat Friction Thin cups and Deep Concave Friction cups from Piab create opportunities for more cost-effective and productive press shop operations by increasing the strokes per minute in stamping, cutting, bending, and punching machines.

Handle Sheet Metal with Care

FIPALIFT vacuum tube lifters from FIPA allow a single person to safely lift, transport, and precisely position up to 639 lb of structured, smooth, oily, dry, non-magnetic, and even hot sheet metal with minimal physical exertion and without the risk of dents, scratches, or exposure to paint-impairing substances.
