TIA to market Kahlman Quick-Lift range of lifts

Quick-Lift systems are sold throughout the world to high-output and demanding industries including the automotive and aeronautic sectors, general metalworking, distribution and logistics, food, beverage and medical industries and similar applications. Quick-Lift systems are available in load capacities to 300kg, with optimised ergonomic and work safety features, state-of-the-art production speed and movement precision. They feature sophisticated programmable electronic controls and electric drives, which is said to give a lower cost of ownership than other technologies such as vacuum- or pneumatically-driven systems.

Within their target industries, these systems are called upon to perform a wide range of lifting activities, handling anything from a simple load to a complex aerospace fixture requiring very precise positioning control during an assembly operation. Their sales success therefore depends critically on being equipped with the correct grippers for the application "" an issue that TIA is suitably placed to solve with its experience in, and access to, gripper technology. TIA can source or design and integrate vacuum, magnetic or pneumatic grippers into a simple or complex assembly tailored to the needs of each individual customer. The result is an ergonomically designed lift that maximises operator productivity while minimising strain and fatigue over extended periods of time.

Carsten Billeschou, Managing Director of Kahlman, comments: "TIA, with its long experience and high competence in the area of automation and end-effector design, is the perfect match for Kahlman and will be able to add the best possible value to our product line in the UK."
