Why did you use a cilinder and not a elektric chain hoist? I probs would have used that because i would be to afraid to bent the cilinder and also the hoist would give more flexibility (dont know if you want that tho) anyways, i does look great!!
@@JackBusseyUK i have a vacuum generator similar the one you said. But l was reluctant that it will generate sufficient vacuum for the pads to lift 300kg. Are you using it at 10 bars or have generators for each pad?

Does one vacuum generator run the clamps and the lifting piston? That’s crazy! Great build.
Jack, you wouldn't happen to be willing to share the cad for the vacuum lift would you?

It works great still a few years later 😉😎
Nice job. Who makes the suction cups that you used?
I bought them from Aliexpress 200mm suction cups from memory
Anything special about the air cylinder to raise and lower?
No just big, 100mm diameter and 900mm stroke
@@JackBusseyUK Nice job. What is the max weight you can use on the cylinder?
@@BogdanHurezeanu it can lift 300kg no problem
What vacuum pump and controls did you use for the vacuum lifter? Looks awesome
Airtac brand lever controls, and a air powered vacuum block, thanks 👍
@@JackBusseyUK hey Jack do you have any more information on the vacuum block you used? Is it like a Venturi vacuum generator?
@@jontywardle1535 Vacuum Venturi Generator CV-25HS is the model number, thanks

@@BogdanHurezeanu around 8 bar, and one vac genarator for 8 suction cups, you must have a air leak or faulty vacuum genarator
Hey, do you have specs on the suction cups that you bought? Im looking to make the same setup
250mm suction cups from aliexpress, searching that you should be able to find them
