This autonomous construction equipment grips and lifts hot components that exit a furnace, immerses them in a powder-coated tub, rotates them to ensure the powder is evenly distributed across all surfaces, then places the components onto a stillage.
With components still hot from a furnace and needing to be fully immersed in fine powder, which can be hazardous to health, this autonomous construction equipment provides a solution to the problem of workers being unable to physically handle the load and perform the required operations safely.
A PLC control allows the worker to operate the machine from a safe distance. The control is simple to use and low effort for the worker, who simply has to send a command at the start of the lift, dunk, and place operations.
This autonomous construction equipment solution removed the need for workers to perform lifting of bulk loads. This improved production efficiency and reduced the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
