With the
capacity for nearly any manual lift, Abaco vacuum cups are rugged and
dependable manual vacuum clamps. These are the handheld vacuum cups chosen by
professional stone fabricators and glaziers around the world. Quality
construction, close attention to detail during manufacturing, and individual
testing has given these tools a reputation for excellence.
Unlike suction cups that produce a vacuum when they are pulled away from the
glass, these vacuum cups pump out air from between the rubber pad and the glass
surface, thus creating a much more reliable hold. The hand-actuated pump is
spring-balanced to provide a vacuum of 20 inches Hg (at sea level). Because the
full face of a flat, rubber pad is brought into contact with the finished stone
or glass surface, distortion is reduced.
A black line on the plunger indicates the vacuum level of the hand cup. When
the cup is attached completely, the plunger is partially hidden inside the pump
and the black line is not visible. A visible black line indicates vacuum is not
sufficient for a lift. If the black line starts to show during a lift, a check
valve allows the operator to re-pump the cup without losing the remaining
vacuum. When the lift is completed, a release device allows air to refill the
evacuated space, so that release is complete, with no dangerous after-stick.
The Abaco Vacuum cup lifter features an eight-inch vacuum pad and a lightweight
ABS pump and handle. It has a horizontal lifting capacity of 125 lbs. and a
vertical lifting capacity of 100 lbs. This lifter comes in its own heavy-duty
case.
