Unified Lift Assist
General
The Unified Lift Assist on the 2V10 Bodyside RH Cell is used to assist the operator to load (2V10=V01GM1) and unload (2V10=V01GM2) heavy and awkward parts from and to the Geo Fixture.
Major Components (2V10=V01GM1)
The Unified Lift Assist feature the following components.
| Item | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|
| A | Operator Controls | Used by the operator to control the lift assist as parts are being lifted and lowered. |
| B | Air Cylinder | Controlled by the operator through the controls, these air cylinders are used to create the force needed to properly maneuver the lift assist throughout the station. |
| C | Tunkers Clamp | Secures the parts into the lift assist for movement. Each clamp consists of an air cylinder, proximity switches, and part touching details such as fingers that properly locate the part into position. |
| D | Rough Locators | To ensure parts are properly loaded onto the lift assist, the Rough Locators provide a way operator to align and place the parts. They are neoprene to handle slight bumps without damaging the part but are hard enough to help align the part. |
Major Components (2V10=V01GM2)
The Unified Lift Assist feature the following components.
| Item | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|
| A | Operator Controls | Used by the operator to control the lift assist as parts are being lifted and lowered. |
| B | Regulator | Used to adjust the air pressure associated with the air cylinder or clamp that it is connected to. If the air pressure is too low, the cylinders may not full extend or retract, or the part may not be clamped tightly, which could cause the part to fall out of the lift assist. |
| C | Pneumatic Suction Cups | Secures the parts into the lift assist for movement as the pneumatic vacuum generator creates a differential pressure between the part and the suction cup. |
| D | Rough Locators | To ensure parts are properly loaded onto the lift assist, the Rough Locators provide a way operator to align and place the parts. They are neoprene to handle slight bumps without damaging the part but are hard enough to help align the part. |
