Cynergy Ergonomics has recently installed a custom lifting system to lift, rotate, and reposition five separate commercial aircraft fuselage panels of differing sizes, weights, and geometries. The panels – which weigh up to 2,500 pounds each – are lifted and then rotated either 90 degrees or 180 degrees before being placed into dunnage, a storage pogo, or the final assembly fixture. This PLC controlled system is easy to operate, as a push-button activates individual vacuum circuits which have been optimized for individual panel geometry. Redundant safety features ensure that operators and panels remain safe in the event of power or component failure. Cynergy Ergonomics specializes in ergonomic workstations and material handling equipment such as lifts, articulating arm manipulators, sheet, panel and roll lifters, vacuum tube lifting, roll manipulators and material handling equipment.
