Rigid Industrial Manipulator Integrated with Gorbel Workstation Crane System

This Gorbel Free Standing Work Station Bridge Crane was utilized for an application that takes advantage of its ease of push and pull for a custom yet affordable solution.

The customer needed rigidity to be maintained while handling these parts and the system they were using had a lot of swing with the hoist and could not handle the required installation angle.

This application involved handling row unit pods for a combine. Three pods were on a mounting rack which weighed 1000#. The pack of three needed to be picked up and tilted to a specific angle to allow for proper installation.

A Gorbel Free Standing Work Station Bridge Crane with a Dual Girder Bridge and Variable Frequency Tractor Drives on both the trolley and bridge. The variable frequency drive control give the operator optimum spotting control to position these large pods.

Gorbel workstation cranes are easily integrated with custom end tooling. Gorbel will make the platform to integrate with many type of one of a kind tooling.

The customer was thrilled with the amount of time they were able to save over the previous method. Their installation time was reduced from 25 minutes per pack down to 5 minutes.
