Scissor lift tables

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Tecmach has supplied a series of scissor lift tables which have indexing turntables to improve efficiency and make manual handling safer in a manufacturing facility.

It was part of a drive to reduce operator fatigue when transfering finished steel components from an automated CNC machine onto trays on stillage. 

The scissor lift tables in both one and two tonne versions have a heavy duty rectangular turntable on which the steel transport stillage can easily be loaded located.  The turntable has eight detent indexing positions so the operator can build the layers uniformly whilst easily reaching the entire stacking area without excessive stretching. This reduces operator fatigue and removes the risk of damage to the product as it can easily be positioned without contact with adjacent components. 

The turntable has electronic position detection, so the scissor lift table can only be lowed when the turntable is correctly aligned with the platform. This is part of the inclusive safety feature that eliminates any risk of a trap point. 

Control of the platform and loading height is by a heavy duty cast alloy foot switch so that the operator always has their hands free. Tecmach scissor lifts can offer a full range of accessories that assist customers with their mechanical handling requirements.
