FullSharp hung a pneumatic jib crane on a 5T rail rated for 200 kg and fitted a gripper that holds plastic component trays by their sides, for trays moving between conveyor, inspection table and racks. The tray stays level the whole way, so parts inside do not shift or fall, and the arm turns 360 degrees to reach each station.
Plastic trays holding components are stacked and moved continuously between the conveyor, inspection table, and storage racks. A full tray is heavy, and carrying it by hand can easily tilt it, shifting or dropping the components inside.
FullSharp suspends a pneumatic jib crane from the beam, running it on a 5T rail rated for 200 kg, and fits it with a gripper tool that hugs the tray sides. The tray stays level throughout the move, and the operator rotates the arm 360 degrees to bring it to the right station before releasing the grip.
Pneumatic jib crane suspended on a 5T rail with a plastic tray gripper tool, moving a component tray.
The tool grips both tray sides evenly so the tray never tilts. Components inside don't shift.
Gripping and releasing run on compressed air, with no need to re-stack items on the tray. Line rhythm stays steady.
The rail hangs from the existing beam. Aisles and rack areas below stay clear.
Use a gripper that holds the tray sides and keeps it level. The tray in this project is lifted and moved on a jib crane, so it stays flat while the operator guides it to the next station.
The 5T rail is rated for 200 kg and the jib arm carries the tray weight, leaving the operator only to guide it. FullSharp sizes the gripper to the real tray dimensions.
Electronics and component assembly plants, quality inspection lines and tray or plastic container storage areas, where full trays are moved many times per shift.
FullSharp visits the plant to measure tray dimensions, tray weight when full, and the travel path between stations. We design the gripper jaws to match the exact tray profile and choose the right rail length and suspension points. Call FullSharp to schedule a survey.
