Scissor Lift for Bowl Feeding System

Although a lot of the work we do is technically advanced and very challenging, sometimes we get involved in some nice straightforward engineering!

A well-known Midlands bowl feeder company required an adjustable table to raise and lower a feeding system, which also required a cross slide to allow a number of different sized components to be fed into a centreless grinder on a batch-by-batch basis.

The solution? A heavy-duty scissor lift table with cross slide, with the added implementation of a tooled GRIMM linear to complete the brief.

However, it’s not just fulfilling the brief to engineer the special machinery but also understanding the workspace it is going to be used in. In this instance, through working closely with the client, we knew this was for a harsh grinding shop environment but demanded a very smooth operation. So, we supplied IKO Linear Rails & Carriages with extra seals and scrapers.

Our new scissor lift table design can be purpose designed for many different applications and supplied with or without the cross slide.

A range of cover options are also available if you need the mechanism hidden, or protected, and the unit can also be supplied in stainless steel.

If you think one of these robust units would be a useful addition to your manufacturing or maintenance facility please get in touch with DAS on 01844 355591 or info@designandautomation.com
