Pneumatic Air Ball Lifters (ISR) have a unique construction - a combination of a high precision-machined ball transfer with an air cylinder.
This unique device uses compressed air to lift a load/tool from the table surface position and rotate it in any 360 degree direction in a horizontal plane, an economical and labor saving unit. Roll on - Roll off facility dramatically reduces tool changeover times.
Advantages:
1. Dramatically reduces tool changeover times.
2. Eliminates tool and press bed damage.
3. Allows accurate tool positioning.
Air Ball Lifters (ISR) are designed to facilitate rapid tool change on any type of press / machine. When in the raised position, the balls protrude above the bed level allowing the tool to be rolled onto the bed and positioned accurately.
When clamping is carried out the balls retract, lowering the tool onto the press bed. When clamping is released the balls lift the tool, allowing it to be rolled from the press.
