Steering Gear Manipulator for Dunnage Loading

From Cynergy Ergonomics, Inc.

A tier 1 manufacturer of steering gear assemblies needed to pick the 65 lb parts from the assembly table and load them into the dunnage rack for shipment. Loading of the dunnage posed a significant safety and ergonomic problem - the operators needed to reach in 40" in order to stack the components on the rear shelves. The tooling design was further constrained by the fact that access to the completed part was limited to a small portion of the upper surface due to dunnage rack and assembly table interferences. Furthermore, the part needed to be rotated 16° to seat properly in the dunnage support pockets.
