Geared for efficiency
June 1st 2007 Handling systems from
Demag Cranes & Components
have provided fitters at SSS
Gears with total control of
load movement, assisting in
precision assembly and
improving the efficiency of
the production process
As part of an upgrade to
its fitting shops, SSS Gears
sought a materials handling
solution, which combined
total flexibility of push/pull
movement with smooth
movement and accurate load
positioning.
Demag supplied suspension
cranes incorporating its
KBKII/KBKIIR monorail
system in two fitting shops.
Each system comprises
two 14.5m long downshop
rails, on which are mounted
three 1000kg SWL-rated
3.5m single girder crane
bridges. Each of the crane
bridges has a 1000kg
electric chain hoist from
Demag's DC-COM range.
Power supplies are via bus
bars, housed in the KBK
track profile to protect
against ingress of dust and
debris, with current collectors
in the travel carriages. More articles from Demag Cranes & Components Ltd: |
