SUCCESS STORY: Premier Automation gets Robotic Workcell up and Running

What is the Problem?

Harmony Castings is a job shop for cast aluminum parts. Several secondary operations are required after the casting process: gate and sprue cutting, heavy flash grinding, and surface finish grinding. Each operation is performed by an operator using hand-held equipment. This leads to strain from repetitive tasks, and increased labor.

Emergency Stop and Stop Controllers

 

Ever been in one of those situations where you wished you just had a ‘pause’ b utt on ? Accidents on the plant floor can cause irreparable damage to equipment and personnel that can adversely affect your company’s productivity, profitability and safety.


Banner Engineering has developed highly responsive emergency stop devices that can give you the 
power to stop an accident as soon as you notice something’s wrong, thus preventing the damage from going any further.

Since then, the product design has evolved and refined at an increased pace. Even in the 21st century, there is no alternative in sight, and thanks to continued improvement, VFDs have solidified their position in the field of automation.
