HVAC Damper Shrouds
- Industries: HVAC
- Positioning Challenges: Electric/White Goods Handling
Problem:
Several operators were trying to assemble shrouds onto the dampers, flipping the parts over and handling sharp edges. Customer needed a way to lift, hold and rotate the dampers as operators install sheet metal shrouds with rivets.
Application:
Grip and hold dampers weighing 15-150 lbs. while operators install a 16″-32″ deep shroud. Assembly area is under an existing bridge crane.
Solution:
A World Manipulator® (WM-200) with an air motor screw drive gripper and interchangeable jaw sets. Manual rotation through the horizontal axis. Grip and hold dampers weight 15-150 lbs. while operators install a 16″-32″ deep shroud. Assembly area is under an existing bridge crane. Vertical axis caliper disc brakes and an operator’s control pendant. Several safety circuits were used including Gripper Safety Circuitry.
