3.9 Adjusting the suction frame to curved glass and façade panes
The
OKTOPUS
®
GLASS-Jack GL-CC 1200 is designed so that also convex and concave
curved glass and façade panes can be handled if the suction frame for curved glass panes is
mounted. The glass and façade elements have to have a radius of at 2 m.
The suction pads are adjusted to the radius of the glass and façade elements as follows:
- Move the OKTOPUS
®
to the curved glass / façade element.
- Adjust the outer suction pad beams to the bending radius of the glass and façade ele-
ments. Therefore adjust the inclination of the swivel arms with the help of the hand
wheels.

Adjusting the suction frame to curved glass und façade elements
Never operate the hand wheels when a glass pane is suctioned! Otherwise
the glass pane could drop off and thus cause serious injuries.
With certain combinations of pane sizes, type and radius of curvature, such
elements may hit the crane boom during handling. This can cause the ele-
ments to be damaged or fall down!
