Panel Lifter Turning
Cooler Counter Tops
Lifting for Inspection and Assembly
Cynergy Ergonomics Case Study
REQUIREMENT:
During the cooler manufacturing process, counter tops go
through a foam injection insulation process. After the foam
is injected, the countertops need to be lifted and rotated
180° for cleaning and inspection, then rotated back 90° or
180° for installation (depending upon the model). These
panels can range up to 12 feet long and weigh over 200
pounds. This process was being performed manually with both
risk of operator injuries and damage to the product.
SOLUTION:
A vacuum based below-the-hook panel rotating and
manipulating device was provided with a simple jib crane and
hoist system. The tooling is designed to lift and rotate the
panels to any desired position up to 180˚.
