Manual to automatic
April 1st 2009 When Moores Furniture
Group had manual
handling concerns
about picking large
worktops, the
manufacturer and
installer of kitchen and
bathroom furniture
turned to Handling
Concepts for a solution.
Handling Concepts'
engineers designed,
produced and installed a
fully automated pick and
place system using a
vacuum grip unit which, on
the push of a button, can
individually count out a
designated number of
worktops from a stack and
then place them on to an
out-going pallet ready for
dispatch. The system is fully
caged on three sides and on
the open side is securely
protected by a light guard.
This eliminates the risk to
the operator and anyone in
the vicinity, and has also
increased productivity by
significantly speeding up the
application. More articles from Handling Concepts Ltd: |
