Maximum ergonomics and mobility for industrial assembly processes

Hat Engineering AG is a renowned supplier of customised industrial products that are tailored to the needs of its customers. Their mobile lift tables and assembly trolleys are used in a wide variety of production environments. The integration of the Blickle ErgoMove 500 electric drive system has created a solution that significantly simplifies the daily work of assembly employees and optimises processes.

Industrial companies place high demands on their assembly processes. A flexible solution is particularly important when working with varying work steps – from assembly and welding to shipping. Mobile lift tables from Hat Engineering enable all these work steps to be carried out without the tedious transfer of components from one workstation to the next. Thanks to ergonomic adjustment of the working height and a versatile work surface with integrated positioning flanges and clamps, all these steps can be carried out on one lift table. However, transporting the tables between the individual stations previously required a great deal of effort on the part of the employees. In addition, the tables had to be equipped with swivel castors that take electrostatic discharge (ESD protection) into account and at the same time enable secure locking.

The integration of the ErgoMove 500 electric drive system with sensor handle and safety control box has resulted in a state-of-the-art ergonomics and mobility solution. It can be seamlessly integrated into both existing and new applications and offers uncomplicated installation thanks to plug & play. ‘With the extremely fast battery-powered lift tables from Hat Engineering and the Blickle ErgoMove 500, we are taking ergonomics and mobility to a new level. The combination of electric assistance and flexible adjustment not only makes work easier, but also safer and more efficient,’ says Marco Beck, project manager/developer at Hat Engineering. The innovative ErgoMove solution offers significant advantages over conventional systems. The electric movement assistance makes handling much easier and increases process efficiency. Employees can concentrate on their core tasks while the lift table can be moved effortlessly from one station to the next. In addition, the purchase of the systems boosts employee motivation. It shows appreciation for ergonomic working and contributes to the long-term health of the workforce.
