Work Station Crane Aids Welding Ventilation System Without Workflow Interruption...
This metal fabrication shop was having an overabundance of weld exhaust in their welding stations and did not have a good way to remove the weld pollutants. Most options for ventilation in these work cells involved the construction of walls or partitions which restricted traffic flow near the workspace. One of the challenges they faced was that they still needed to load and unload gas tanks of various sizes and shapes to the work cell using an existing overhead Cleveland Tramrail® Patented Track Crane.  Solution: A Freestanding Work Station Crane with a 900-pound Frommelt filtration hood secured between two steel bridges with tractor drives. The work station crane has cantilevered supports on each end to enable the existing overhead crane to continue to deliver products to the work cell.
The system spans two welding work cells, and has push button controls on both ends to engage the tractor drives and move the hood over the desired cell. Limit switches signal to the tractor drive when the hood is in place and stops the movement.  Whether you need custom solutions such as the above or a standard jib crane, overhead bridge crane, hoist or workstaion crane contact us at sales@ergonomicpartners.com
