Bobbin along
June 1st 2008

NGF EUROPE manufactures reinforced glass cord mainly used in the automotive industry. It is machine wound onto plastic bobbins each weighing around 18kg.

Operators were expected to bend down and pull each bobbin from a spindle and carry it to an adjacent pallet/trolley, resulting in strains and injuries. Lifting techniques were introduced and Handling Concepts provided a solution that incorporated a bobbin gripper complete with hoist, which integrated a rail support structure to form part of the machine creel assembly. After training and installation there has been a 91% improvement in days lost and lost time accidents.
