GNB Technologies,
a subsidiary of Exide Battery, manufactures power storage batteries
which go into U. S. Naval nuclear submarines. These batteries are
built on what is known as a building stand which is a very heavy and
sturdy steel framed cart mounted on rolling casters. |
|
 |
The picture on the left shows a typical building stand with a partially completed battery. Since the battery is composed of lead plates, the overall weight of these building stands becomes quite heavy as the manufacturing process moves ahead. Weights approach 4,000 pounds. These units were being moved by employees
hand pushing them between the various stages of the manufacturing
process. |
Power Wheel studied all
aspects of connecting our equipment to the building stands and came up
with the proposed design on the right. |
 |
 |
Our lifting lugs were mounted in the position shown on the left and once again, we were able to substitute cost effective machine power to accomplish the task and remove the human element with its associated injury risks. |
For this application, a 10 RPM drive transmission and soft start control card was chosen along with foam filled solid core tires. |
