NEODITECH solution
SC0403-002 – Electric mobile SCARA Parts Arm 50kg
Option used
OUT088 – N2 Pneumatic Magnet Lifting Tool
Customer benefits observed
+ Significant reduction in strenuous work
+ Reduced risk of strain injuries & work-related accidents
+ Improved ergonomics and fluidity
Background
Bosch approached us for help involving handling steel bases weighing up to 22 kg. Previously, the bases were lifted and moved manually by the operators.
Neoditech Solution
To address this need, we suggested our SCARA Parts electric arm on a mobile base (mounted on a pallet truck) with a maximum load capacity of 50 kg. Our engineers worked with Bosch to develop a lifter tool using pneumatic-magnetic technology and scratch protection, which can be installed quickly and easily using a quick tool changer.
Customer Benefits
The steel bases are now lifted and moved with the SCARA Parts arm, with no strain for the operators. Moreover, thanks to the robot’s fluidity and precision, the operators have gained mobility and now work more efficiently and safely.
