Ergonomic Partners

Every manufacturer knows the challenge: heavy parts, tight storage, and the constant need for precise placement. When one customer struggled with this scenario, we engineered a tool that turned their placement challenges into smooth operations. Ergonomic Partners engineered this custom pneumatic gripper to help our customer place heavy fiberglass spools deep into their shelving storage. It features: - Force-sensing hub enables precise control with minimal operator effort - Multiple grip/release controls positioned for optimal ergonomics at any height - Thin grip design navigates tightly packed storage arrangements - Extended reach capability for deep shelf placement - Intentional release mechanism prevents accidental drops - Automatic balance adjustment maintains stability during operation Integrated with Gorbel G-Force Intelligent Lifting Device for complete ergonomic operation that transforms demanding placement tasks into controlled, efficient processes.

We've got something a little different for this post! This custom gantry crane features a unique magnetic lifting tool for handling steel off a plasma table. The magnetic lifting device, custom-developed by Ergonomic Partners, features a pneumatic cylinder with a lifting magnet from Industrial Magnetics, Inc.. The crane, developed by TSOC, is a double-leg, double-girder gantry with dual motors and anti-collision sensors. #gantrycrane #overheadcrane #cranes #materialhandling #doublegirdercrane #magnetcrane #magneticlifting #anticollision #steelprocessing #steelindustry #fabrication #manufacturing #americanmanufacturing #shipping #shippingindustry

We're excited to see where these future engineers will take the robotics industry! This week, we hosted another FIRST TECH CHALLENGE team at Ergonomic Partners, Team Tekon. They were excited to tour our facility and learn about real-world applications of robotics and how their FTC skills can translate into engineering careers. We enjoy their enthusiasm and are grateful for the opportunity to support the local FTC community and STEM education. #ErgonomicPartners #FirstTechChallenge #FTC #Robotics #STEM #Engineering #FutureEngineers #Inspiration #CommunityOutreach #RoboticsEducation

Remote operation meets pinpoint precision in this tank handling solution. Ergonomic Partners recently partnered with a company needing a safer way to handle large water storage tanks from a mezzanine level. We developed a custom vacuum tool integrated with their overhead bridge crane, allowing operators to securely lift and position tanks with unparalleled control and safety. Key Features include: • Triangular pattern of three suction cups precisely angled for secure grip on curved tank surfaces • Combined pneumatic power with electric solenoid actuation for single-point remote control of both crane and vacuum functions • Quick disconnect system for efficient tool changes and angle adjustments for different tank sizes • Proprietary gripper safety circuit to prevent accidental mid-air releases See more custom vacuum lifting solutions at https://lnkd.in/e6di54v #materialhandling #vacuumlifter #customtool #ergonomicpartners #liftingsolutions #bridgecrane #engineering #manufacturing #automation #safety #efficiency #tankstorage #watertanks
