Assembly in Action: Tool Rail Improves Workplace Efficiency
K¿bohrer Gel¿efahrzeug AG installed a W4-airsolutions tool rail with two independent trolleys from Wampfler AG on the assembly lines for Snowcat cabs.
The efficient supply of compressed air and electricity to tools on assembly lines is not as easy as one might think. While small products can be assembled with tool movements limited to an area of 2 to 3 square feet, larger products, such as appliances, cars and earth moving-equipment, require workers to move around the product during assembly. In some cases, the worker is also required to walk alongside the product as it moves down the assembly line.
