Greater productivity, less pain
October 1st 2007 No back injuries and
productivity up by 50% are
just some of the benefits
reaped by Stauff since
asking Handling Concepts
to solve the awkward
problem of removing coils
of hydraulic hose from
boxes at its logistics and
manufacturing centre in
Sheffield.
Handling Concepts
installed a rail system over
production equipment and
designed and produced a
bespoke manipulator
below. The manipulator
grips the coil and lifts it
from the box. It can also tilt
the coil to suit the
individual application.
By removing the need for
manual lifting, the process
is now significantly safer,
and the equipment is
providing productivity gains
in terms of speed and
accuracy. One person now
does a job that used to
require two or three. More articles from Handling Concepts Ltd: |
