EXCLUSIVE ZIP CHAIN LIFTER: WHERE SUPERIOR SPEED MEETS ABSOLUTE PRECISION

1. What is the Zip Chain Lifter?

The Zip Chain Lifter is Tsubaki's next-generation lifting device featuring exclusive Zip Chain technology. Unlike traditional hydraulic cylinders or screw jacks, it utilizes two specialized chains. When activated, these chains interlock like a zipper to form a strong, rigid steel pillar that pushes the lift table upward.

2. Outstanding Advantages - Why is it called a High-Speed Lifter?

This product overcomes many limitations of conventional lift tables:

• High Speed: Lifting speeds can reach up to 1,000 mm/sec (60 m/min), which is 3 to 10 times faster than hydraulic lifters.

• High Frequency: Designed for continuous 24/7 operation without concerns about overheating or pressure drops common in hydraulic systems.

• High Precision Multi-point Positioning: Driven by an electric motor (typically a Servo motor), the lifter can be programmed to stop accurately at any position with minimal error.

• Space-Saving Design: When lowered, the chains are compactly coiled into a magazine, allowing for a low profile and eliminating the need for deep floor pits.

• Clean & Eco-friendly: Since it is oil-free, there is no risk of leakage, making it ideal for electronics, food, or pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.

3. Structure and Operating Mechanism

It consists of three main components:

• Zip Chain: Two symmetrical chains that lock together into a rigid column to handle compressive loads as they pass through the sprockets.

• Drive Unit: An electric motor that transmits power directly through the sprockets.

• Chain Magazine: Stores the retracted chains when the lifter is lowered, optimizing the installation footprint.

4. Practical Applications

The Zip Chain Lifter is widely used in highly automated industries such as:

• Automotive Assembly: Fast lifting of car bodies or heavy components between workstations.

• AGV/AMR Systems: Integrated into automated guided vehicles for shelf-loading tasks.

• Packaging Lines: High-speed lifting of boxes for palletizing processes.
