2. Telescopic Lifter Introduction & Operation
2.1 Introduction
A Telescopic lifter assembly is a compact, self-contained lifting mechanism designed to provide smooth vertical movement and precise positioning in material-handling operations. Built with extendable telescopic sections, it offers maximum lifting height within a minimal footprint, ensuring stable load control and reliable performance. Using hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical actuation, its motion can be accurately regulated to suit different material characteristics and handling requirements. Due to its versatility and efficiency, the telescopic lifter assembly is widely used in industries such as logistics, packaging, automotive, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing for applications including vertical transport, loading and unloading, assembly line support, and ergonomic height adjustment.
2.2 Operation
-
Before the operation starts, the tray is already positioned in front of the telescopic lifter. When activated, the telescopic lifter moves vertically upward under servo control until it reaches the required scanning height. A camera mounted on the lifter then scans inside the tray rack, where multiple capsules are arranged in tracks (rows).
-
As the lifter reaches the correct level, the camera captures high-clarity images of the capsules in the current track. The captured data is processed instantly and sent to the robot controller. Based on this feedback, the robot identifies the exact position, count, and arrangement of capsules in that specific track.
-
The servo motor ensures smooth and stable vertical movement, allowing the camera to scan without distortion or vibration. Once the robot finishes picking capsules from that track, the system marks the track as completed.
-
After completion of one track, the telescopic lifter automatically moves downward to return to its start position or to reposition for scanning the next track, depending on the operating sequence.

2.4 How to use the Manual
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the machine.
The instruction manual must not only be a guide for machine use during production, but also cover a more complex PREVENTION and SAFETY role.
In other words, the Telescopic Lifter can only be used by experienced personnel who have been properly trained and given all the information related to machine use as well as that contained in the present manual.
Please remember that it is the duty of the machine end user to ensure that the manual is always physically available near the machine and that the information contained is always kept readable.
The safety notices are highlighted in bold print.
The safety warnings are highlighted in bold print and are inserted in boxes intended to attract attention.
Safety Warning
The manual is divided into chapters. Each chapter is divided into paragraphs.
The index of the contents dealt with, the titles of the related chapters and paragraphs and their corresponding page numbering have been printed at the beginning of the manual, just inside the front cover.
It is advisable to read the entire manual in the correct sequence it has been created and presented in the current edition.
During the drafting of the present manual, the manufacturer undertook to check that any documentation which describes the machine does not contain elements contrasting with whatever is specified in the instructions for use, as far as the safety aspects are concerned.
2.5 Glossary
Safety Covers & Enclosures
Protective covers are installed around moving components to prevent accidental contact. These enclosures improve safety and keep dust and particles away from the camera and servo assembly.
Camera Sensor Module:
The camera is mounted on the telescopic lifter and scans the inside of the tray rack. It detects capsule positions, identifies empty pockets, and provides real-time visual feedback to the robot controller. The high-resolution imaging ensures accurate pick-and-place operations.
Servo Motor:
The servo motor powers the vertical motion of the telescopic lifter. It ensures highly accurate, repeatable, and vibration-free movement. The servo’s positioning accuracy is essential for stable camera scanning and correct capsule identification.
3. Handling
GENERAL STANDARDS
-
Inspect all lifting accessories before use, and do not use them at all if they are damaged.
-
Always check load weights and barycenters.
-
The Load Lifting Accessories (L.L.A.) must never be overloaded with respect to their nominal
-
carrying capacity.
-
Always take into account the L.L.A. angle to determine their effective carrying capacity.
-
Prevent loads from slipping.
-
Securely fasten the L.L.A.s to the loads.
-
The lifting system must ensure load stability during manoeuvring.
-
Take care not to place your hands between the L.L.A.s and the loads.
-
After lifting the loads, do not guide them directly but use the cables purposely provided.
-
Avoid collision with the lifted loads, which may cause overloading and possible yielding of certain L.L.A.s.
-
The loads must be rested on wooden blocks, so that a certain gap is left between their base andthe floor and the lift truck forks can get a good purchase on them.
Take great care that the parts do not suffer impact during transport and handling. It is furthermore recommended that only the items specified in the following paragraphs are used for lifting.
LIFTING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
The equipment listed below must be used to handle the various parts making up the vibrating screen:
-
bridge crane or suitable lifting apparatus,
-
synthetic slings,
-
steel cables or chains,
-
eyebolts and hooks,
-
Wooden rests.
The equipment listed above must have a carrying capacity compatible with the weights of the transported disassembled parts.
PROTECTION AGAINST
A servo-based telescopic lifter uses programmed motion limits, mechanical stop blocks, and controlled servo positioning to prevent overload and unsafe movement. Stability is supported through fixed outriggers and balanced structural design. Mechanical limit switches and hard-stop systems prevent over-extension and protect the mechanism from damage. Weather-resistant construction protects components from dust and water, while ROPS and FOPS structures safeguard the operator from rollovers and falling objects, ensuring dependable and safe performance without sensors or cameras.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Summary of the operations needed to commission the machine:
Check that all the disassembled parts are available, with the help of the packing lists prepared by the manufacturer.
Eliminate the casing used for protection against bad weather and the wooden structures used for transport.
-
Mount the Bellows inlet (supplied on request)
-
Carry out electrical installation on the machine.
-
Fit the required guards. (if any)
CONTROL SETTING AT INITIAL STARTING
After completing the installation of the mechanical components and electric wiring,carry out the following checks:
-
Check all connections and tightening
-
Check direction of motor rotation
-
Carry out general cleaning of the components and a visual inspection to identify any leaks or other macroscopic problems.
-
Check correct fitting of the guards.(if any)
-
Check efficiency of stop and emergency stop controls.
PLANT TEMPORARILY LEFT OUT OF COMMISSION
When the machine is to be left out of commission for long periods of time (approximately longer than one month), it must be prepared by means of a series of operations intended to prevent deterioration of the various components.
