Aerial Lift Equipment Manufacturer
Problem
Positioning for manual finish welding of 6,500 lb – 8,000 lb aerial lift chassis.
COMPLEXITY
Approach
- 16,000 lb 3-axis positioners (P3X)
- 6,000 lb servo controlled head stock & tail stocks
- Servo controls for pre-programmable positioning and future robotic integration
Result
- Reduced material handling
- Repeatable positioning procedures and system intelligence for future robotic expandability
- Improved part loading with adaptive tooling design for multiple product lines
