The FlexLifter is a vertical lifter used to accurately raise or lower a workpiece.

Alternatively, it can be added to the FlexTrack to form a Lift-and-Carry transfer system used to transfer a part down a production line. This provides the lifting and rotational function required by many material handling applications.

Robotic vertical lifting systems

High capacity, compact design, simple service and low maintenance cost – the FlexLifter can replace custom made machinery with a modulated, flexible, and standardize product! The module design allows the lifter to be combined with a rotation unit or mounted on the FlexTrack to provide a complete range of solutions for any industry.

Complete protection

The FlexLifter has an enclosed drive chain making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Robot based technology

The FlexLifter uses the same IRC5 robot based technology as other ABB Robots. This means that no special software or training is required. Robot programmers and maintenance personal can immediately begin to use the product with the same interface they are used to. This also allows the lifter speed, acceleration, and stopping positions of the top plate to be programmed. This makes the lifting system smart and re-useable.
