The Buschhoff company is located in Cologne-Ossendorf, Germany, and provides its customers support for all sorts of tasks related to systems, components and products with sheet metal parts, as well as stamping technology. One way that the company realizes its high quality standards is by using modern CNC machine tools.

To process aluminum plates weighing up to 250 kg on a CNC machine tool, loading used to be done by hand. This task required at least two employees. To relieve the strain on these employees and protect their health, the company decided to make a change.

The vacuum lifting device VacuMaster Eco provided them with the perfect solution for horizontally lifting the aluminum and metal plates and depositing them in the CNC processing center. The reason why the vacuum lifting device VacuMaster Eco is so special, is that it does not require an external energy source.
The necessary holding force is generated solely from the power present in the vacuum lifting device. This means the device can be used in a variety of ways, since no power supply is needed. The battery-operated warning device with battery test function ensures a high degree of work safety. The vacuum lifting device used by the Buschhoff company is designed for a maximum load of 250 kg and can be operated by one person. The Buschhoff company was thrilled to be able to use 50% less personnel. In addition, the employees were relieved and felt more satisfied about their work.
