TM crossbeams

The solution

Telescopic crossbeams for sheet metals – TM Series: maximum flexibility for moving sheet metal of various sizes

Sheet metal, especially when large, is a particularly difficult load to handle. Traditional handling methods (hooks, ropes, chains) can lead to bending and deformation of the load, making the grip unstable and extremely dangerous.

By hooking the load from above, TM telescopic crossbeams offer the highest level of performance in their category, with uniform handling and leaving the load undamaged. The freedom to increase or decrease the distance between the modules and or select which heads to magnetize (guide brace selection) make the TM crosspieces extremely flexible in use.

The various TM formats are distinguished by the number of magnetic guide braces installed: TM4 with 4 guide braces for sheet metals up to 12m in length, TM6 up to 16m, TM8 up to 20m.

Advantages

TM series telescopic crossbeams offer numerous advantages:

  • They are able to automatically pick up a single piece sheet metal from the pack
  • It is possible to operate without spacers between pieces of sheet metal, reducing handling and storage
  • A single operator is able to fully complete picking, handling and releasing operations while remaining at a distance from the load
  • They are permanent-electro systems and therefore insensitive to power outages: total safety for operators and equipment
  • Maintenance free: they do not require backup batteries

TOTAL SAFETY IN OPERATING CONDITIONS

TMX crossbeams are designed to comply with and exceed UNI 13155:2009 requirements. Each crossbeam is capable of developing a 1:3 safety factor (the strength is 3 times the maximum permissible load) not only in ideal conditions but also in the most severe operating conditions.

A series of safety systems prevents lifting loads beyond the limit value (PICKUP), demagnetization during handling (DAUTANAC), accidental activation and deactivation (SAFE).

Other versions

The range of products for flat sheet metal handling also includes the following versions:

  • TM TG For handling thin loads (starting from 3mm)
  • BF Version with fixed crossbeam at constant distance between centres
  • BFS For straps and narrow loads
  • GTR Configuration to magnetically equip fixed crossbeams already owned by the customer
