Picking,
strapping and accumulating bundles of bar orders can represent most of
the manual handling required in a Metal Service Center. This normally
requires lifting, bending or twisting during manual handling and walking
over orders piled on the floor with crane pendant in hand. These bad practices
are ergonomically incorrect and lead to
compensation claims and MSD (musculoskeletal disorders).
The Direct Pick Bar Order Filling Station accepts products that are direct picked from the racks by one or two man-up sideloaders or items that are pan flipped or crane lifted out of the pan to be delivered to the station. Orders are then placed directly onto receiving chains which convey to the order filling operator. Manual handling is eliminated and banding is done at the right height with overhead supported tools. All work is ergonomically correct. |
Bar
items are exposed to the operator and checking size and quantity is easily
done without manual effort. Products are selected in proper sequence to
prevent product damage from heavy items mixing with light items. Impact
bars with urethane covers lower the material to banding that eliminates
scratching and dents.
|
Mechanical
functions are controlled by the operator from a control panel using hydraulic
motors and cylinders to effect material movement. Good, tight bundles
are formed quickly and multi-line orders are completed in 2-3 minutes.
Processing of 140 orders per shift with one order filling station operator
can be achieved. Finished orders can be automatically staged in route
lots for direct truck loading eliminating the need for floor accumulation
and extra crane handling.
