A customer designs and manufactures industrial tank gauges. They have succeeded in building an ergonomic production line to reduce the burden of workers and improve work efficiency by using Ball Locking Quarter turn on their assembly fixtures of tank gauges.

In each assembly process, workers needed to place a product weighing up to 50 kg on a workbench and look inside the product body to assemble the parts, which was a physical burden on the workers. To solve this problem, the company designed a line that the workpieces can be moved from one process to another on a cart, and the height of the top plate with the workpiece can be adjusted to a comfortable height for each worker by a lifting device provided at each process.

In this line, the top plate that holds the workpiece is removed from the cart and the height is adjusted by the lifting device, so they decided to use Spanclamps ball locking quarter turn to quickly and easily fix the top plate and cart. Ball locking Quarter turns are the solution for them to fix the top plate quickly and securely with its one touch operation and high holding force by the ball lock mechanism.
