Two sets of HD type European standard overhead crane systems were delivered to our customer the newly constructed factory in Finland. The facility provides rapid prototype (RP) castings and small lot production services.
With the goal of becoming the ‘world’s number one clean foundry’, the factory was a pioneer in factory operation based on ‘5S’: sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain.
Due to the extremely short lead times, they rely on crane components and parts that are readily available, easily serviced, and provide dependability, all while keeping a safe working environment.
Originally only one top-running cranes was required—8 ton—but the end user requested an additional fem crane 1 ton unit when the they checked the facility.
White, who oversaw installation of the cranes and conducted operator training, said DQCRANRS automated systems are recognized for an ability to reduce performance variation and increase safe operation, as well as to improve productivity. Its clean factory operation effectively reduces workplace accidents and risks.
