Panel Index Cart and Personnel Lift for HVAC Panel Install:

This lineside system was designed so that operators building a large rooftop HVAC unit up to 53’ long and 11’ tall would be able to stage and entire side of side panels into the blue index cart you see on the right side of the line. Once loaded, the operator gets onto the personnel lift (orange platform visible on the left side of the line.) With a vacuum manipulator the operator picks up the next in line panel and places it on the side of the HVAC unit. They will then raise up in the personnel lift so that sheet metals can be screwed at the top of the panel at 11’ off the ground. The next panel automatically indexes forward. There is a drive motor that drives the connected Index cart and personnel lift u and down the line.

Automotive Engine Block Inspection Station:

This inspection station was inserted into a conveyor line at the engine manufacturing plant so that the operator can visually inspect 100% of all sides of the engine block. The part initially comes into the station and two weighted clamps with rotation bearings are pulled down by the operator and clamp the part. The stand then drops down automatically and the operator now has control of the part and can manually rotate it front to back 360 degrees. He then releases the clamp with the bottom of the stand coming up first to support the part then the clamps release. A gripper on the bottom stand now clamps onto the part and the part rotates 45 degrees and then can manually rotate on that angle for the operator to inspect the remaining sides of the block. We have built similar inspection stations for cylinder heads.

Flipper Racks:

The flipper rack was designed for a flat panel type part without ledges between the part so that a vacuum lift assist could have full access to the top of the panel without having to reach on and under each rack level. This also allowed the customer to store a great amount of product on each rack. The four flippers are weighted and pivot to the correct orientation to set another part into the rack without the operator having to engage anything on the rack itself.
