Easy Arm™ Helps Eliminate Back Strain in Machining Application...
"The Easy Arm™ doesn’t slow me down at all. It moves as fast as my arm moves, and it’s the easiest lifting device I’ve ever used.” - Machine Operator
A machining station at a manufacturing plant for recreational sport vehicles starts with a raw steel casting and loads it into a machine for cutting, shaping and refinement. The raw castings arrive at the work bay in large bins and are unloaded onto a conveyor with a mold for the flywheels to sit into.
Operators had been moving each piece by hand, often bending low into part bins. “The parts don’t seem very heavy at first,” said the machine operator. “By the time you get to the end of a shift though, you’ve got soreness in your back, shoulders and arms. It starts to add up.”
A company-wide assessment of ergonomics brought this application to the foreground, and a process change was called for.
