A Pneumatic Balancer Provides Safety Without Inhibiting Transfer Cycle Time

The problem was how to safely handle picture tubes. The necks of the tubes cannot support the maximum weight (140 lbs.) of the tubes so it can be used as a grip point. The distance between the pick up point and set down point was 17 feet. There is a large variation in the sizes and funnel angles. Learn how this manufacturer who makes several size tubes, from 19" to 35" diagonally, solved its problems through the use of a pneumatic balancer by insuring that safety was a first priority, but the safety procedures did not inhibit the transfer cycle time.
