Ewellix LIFTKIT is a ready-to-install system and includes a lifting column with a robot mounting interface, a controller and a software plug-in for compatible robots so that movements can be programmed directly via the robot controller.
In the LIFTKIT-0S version, the column can be controlled via a standard Ethernet TCP/IP interface. With a set of simple commands, it is possible to connect the LIFTKIT to virtually any type of robot and create a dedicated programme to perform the lifting function.

Frequently asked questions
A lifting column is an electromechanical device that provides controlled vertical motion, typically by using a motor-driven spindle or linear actuator mechanism enclosed within a telescopic column structure. When activated, the internal drive system extends or retracts the column, allowing the mounted equipment—such as a robot or tooling platform—to be raised or lowered with precision. Lifting columns are designed to offer high stability, silent operation, and accurate positioning, making them ideal for applications like palletising, assembly, inspection, or ergonomic workstation adjustment.
Not exactly. While both devices convert rotary motion into linear motion, a lifting column is a complete system specifically designed for allowing offset loads for vertical movement and typically integrates a linear actuator inside a telescopic housing. It also includes structural elements for stability, cable management, and often a control interface for easy integration. A linear actuator, on the other hand, is a single component that can be used in various orientations and may require additional design elements to form a complete vertical lifting system. In short, a lifting column is a specialized implementation of linear motion technology, optimized for vertical applications.
Column lifting offers several important advantages for industrial and workshop settings. It ensures lower energy consumption compared to traditional lifting systems, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Maintenance is simpler and more efficient thanks to its streamlined design. From an ergonomic standpoint, column lifting improves worker comfort by positioning loads at optimal heights, reducing physical strain. It also provides high precision in movement and alignment, which is essential for delicate or complex tasks. Lastly, the system is highly reliable, offering consistent performance with minimal downtime.
