G-Force® Proves It Can Handle The Heat

A leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment was seeking a new solution for the handling of hydraulic cylinder pins during the heat treat process. In this application, the hydraulic pins are loaded and eventually unloaded from the heat treat furnace and placed directly into a quenching machine. The size of the pins are extremely variable, with some as small as 3” long, 1” in diameter and just 5 lbs, up to pins that are 48” long, 16” in diameter with a weight of 300 lbs. One operator is responsible for the loading and unloading of 20- 30 parts per hour.
