FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a plastic tray hook tool for a line where workers carried full component trays back and forth hundreds of times per shift. Two jaws hook the tray rim at both ends, the tray stays level while the arm swings it to the next position, and it sets down smoothly without spilling the parts inside.
A plastic tray full of components gets quite heavy, and workers carry it back and forth hundreds of times per shift. A tilted tray means spilled parts - lost stock and time spent picking them back up.
FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane with a plastic tray hook tool that grips the rim of the tray at both ends. The tray is lifted and held level, swinging the arm moves it to a new position, and it sets down smoothly without shifting the parts inside.
Plastic tray hook tool mounted on a pneumatic jib crane in the tray transfer area.
The tray stays level throughout lifting and swinging, so the contents never shift.
Fast hook and release, suited to hundreds of tray transfers per shift.
Operators no longer have to bend down to lift a full tray from the floor to the rack.
Hook the tray at both ends of the rim so it hangs level. The hook tool in this project has two jaws and the jib crane carries the weight, so the tray does not tilt as it moves.
The jaw spacing on this hook tool is adjustable to match the tray. FullSharp checks the real tray sizes and weights to set the range.
Electronics and component factories, automobile and motorcycle assembly lines, work in progress warehouses and machine feeding stations all move trays many times per shift.
FullSharp measures the tray dimensions, the loaded weight and the shape of the tray rim to make a hook jaw that fits snugly. Our engineers check the conveyor and rack positions to select the right arm reach. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
