A properly designed production workstation should include the vast array of ergonomic features available today. These include the following:

Torque Reaction Arms
To protect operator from repetitive motion wrist injury. Arms may also be used to keep tool perpendicular to work surface and balance the weight of tool. Special fixturing can be designed to accommodate riveting, staking, dispensing and other types of tools.

Balancers and Jibs
Used where torque reaction need not be controlled and maximum vertical and horizontal travel is required.

Workpiece Balancers and Lifting Devices
To assist operator in moving and placing moderately heavy parts. Can be custom designed with special vacuum or clamping pick-up mechanisms.

Height Adjustable Workbenches
Ergonomic assembly stations for the light assembly and electronics industries.

Custom Torquing Stations
McCann can build stations to assemble products such as valves and pumps, with single or multiple spindles. Torque can be monitored and/or controlled electronically and information can be stored in memory or statistically analyzed.

Screwfeeders, Presenters and Counters and Desktop Systems

To increase production rates, fasteners can be fed directly to a torque controlled electric or pneumatic driver. Presenters allow the operator to pick up a fastener with a magnetic or vacuum tip. Counters are available to verify number of fasteners driven into a particular part. Completely automated X,Y,Z programmable desktop systems are also available. All of the above items are available through McCann Equipment Ltd. An application specialist would be glad to discuss your particular requirements.
