Wherever products must be moved and repositioned quickly and safely, handling systems are used—electric or pneumatic. Available utilities plus volume, type, and repetition rate determine the right system.
Staying in balance with the ezzFLOW balancer
When sensitive products must be positioned or assembled with precision, a balancer is recommended. The intuitive system adapts to the user and task. Holding the workpiece in float lets the operator focus on the task and precision.
In the example below, an electric ezzFLOWsmart optimises packaging efficiency and protects employee health. Handling tasks and carton sizes varied widely, so a custom end effector was developed for the special packaging units.
Custom vacuum gripper on balancer for heavy cartons
Best Handling Technology’s solution is an adjustable pneumatic vacuum gripper that picks heavy cartons from above. Adjustment allows second-fast changes between carton sizes. Higher-level control reduces compressed air use and prevents drops from misuse.
Key customer benefits: productivity from simple operation and optimal speed; smooth articulated jib, flexible end effector, and intuitive controls protect staff while maintaining speed; gripper flexibility removes tool changes despite product variety; ergonomic benefit because the operator need not reach too high or low despite a large lift range. A laser pointer for fast, safe positioning of the area suction cup completes the solution.
