Standard Lift &
Locate Units
Accurate Lifting & Positioning
Lift and Locate devices are used to lift a pallet off the belt to position accurately for external operations. Positional accuracy is typically +/- .05mm but can be tighter or looser based upon the application requirements. The Standard and Low Profile lift and locates are most common with the main difference being vertical stroke (standard lift and locate offers 3-200mm z-axis adjustment). The Heavy Duty lift and locate is capable of supporting massive downward force, and the Lift and Position Kit is typically used on larger pallets.

Low-Profile Lift &
Locate Unit
Accuracy with a Small Footprint
Low-Profile Lift and Locate Unit (LLLU) offers vertical lift positioning in a small footprint, and it is suitable for applications that require repeatable, positional accuracy within ±.05mm. Additional fit options are available on request for lower tolerance applications. The low-profile design allows the LLLU to be used in situations that have limited clearance below the conveyor.

Specifications
- Lifts and locates pallet 1.5mm above belt
- 40mm bore lift cylinder
- Lift capacity – 150 Lbs. @ 80 psi
- Pallet length range – 160mm – 400mm in 1mm increments
- Pallet width range – 160mm – 400mm in 1mm increments
Features

Heavy Duty Lift &
Locate Unit
Heavy Duty Lifting
The Heavy Duty Lift and Locate Unit delivers repeatable, positional accuracy within ±.05mm. The vertical lift position is fixed at 1.5mm above the belt, and the unit is designed to handle heavy loads for press operations such as swaging and ultrasonic welding. This unit utilizes a pneumatic shuttle that slips between the baseplate and the lift anvil once the pallet is raised into position. Heavy Duty Units must be station-mounted on suitable structures to absorb the required loads; accuracy and repeatability are relative to the mounting structure.
