Quick, easy and safe manual handling and stacking of wheels

CHALLENGE:
A multinational company in the automotive industry must carry out wheel stacking tasks synchronized and just-in-time with its client, moving wheels weighing 30 kg from one pallet to another.
Currently, the operation is carried out manually implying significant physical effort for the personnel in charge. In addition, their plan is to increase the size and weight of the wheels, so that manual operation would no longer be acceptable. The company, which is very concerned about the well-being of its workers, requested a global solution for this specific application and enquired about a handling system combining the following features: simple, agile, fast, and at the same time practical and safe for its workers.

They requested a handling system capable of handling up to 3 different wheels, each one with different weights and dimensions, without the need to replace the gripper or adjust the manipulator parameters according to the different weights. In addition, it is requested to be able to pick up the wheels from the central hub..

INDEVA LIFTRONIC EASY provides the requested solution:

• Instant load weight detection thanks to its automatic balancing system for its different wheel weights.
• A quick, simple, and intuitive solution for the operator.
• Quick and easy installation by specialised INDEVA technicians.
