Case Study: Isolation Switch Assembly Handling for Power Equipment

HB Torque's power-industry application portfolio includes isolation-switch assembly as well as circuit-breaker and transformer assembly. These applications can require assisted lifting and controlled positioning of components around electrical-equipment production workstations.

Application overview

Isolation-switch components can vary in geometry, pickup points and installation position. The handling solution is therefore configured around the actual workpiece, movement path and assembly sequence.

The handling challenge

The operator may need to lift a component, guide it through a defined path and position it at the assembly point while maintaining access around fixtures and nearby equipment. Required load capacity, reach and tooling depend on the actual component and workstation.

Solution approach

HB Torque can configure an assisted industrial manipulator and custom end-effector around the isolation-switch component and production process. The system layout is selected according to component weight, dimensions, lifting height, working radius, required orientation and installation conditions.

Engineering inputs

Provide component weight, dimensions, pickup points, lifting height, working radius, required rotation or tilt, assembly position and workstation photos or drawings.
