Case Study: Ergonomic VCB Handling Solution for Switchgear Manufacturers
Share
The Challenge in Electrical Manufacturing Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCBs) are critical components in medium and high-voltage switchgear. However, their heavy weight and fragile epoxy resin poles make manual handling dangerous for both the operators (ergonomic strain) and the product (risk of costly damage).
The Hbtorque Solution To solve this, Hbtorque developed a custom Rigid-Arm Pneumatic Manipulator tailored for the electrical industry. As shown in the video, our equipment features a specially engineered pneumatic gripper that securely clamps the mechanical upper section of the VCB.
Why Choose Our Manipulators?
-
Precision & Safety: The gripper avoids all sensitive areas, ensuring zero surface damage.
-
Ergonomic Efficiency: Transforms a heavy lift into a weightless, zero-gravity operation that can be effortlessly guided by a single operator.
-
Custom Engineering: We design grippers based on your specific component dimensions.
