Looking for dynamic way to load/offload the CMM's with heavy fixtures and other ideas

Hoogerhyde
We are currently in the process of putting together a plan to move my metrology lab. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to load and offload the heavy fixture's (1000 lbs) we use on the CMM's. Currently we use a hi-lo, but i would like to avoid that if possible, We would also like to avoid having an over head crane.

Any other ideas on making a dynamic metrology lab would be greatly apprcieated.

Thanks,

  • Thanks to everyone for their feedback, the suggestions and attachments were very helpful. For a couple of the smaller CMM's I am contemplating having rollers at the end going into the wall of the lab and then load the gages from the outside. My biggest problem with our current lab is that the gages that we recertify for production end up pretty dirty and come in on skids. I figured that cleaning them outside the lab along with not having to drag in the skids will help keep the dirt and dust out.


    I have two large CMM's and another option might be a pole with an extension arm with a hoist attached that would swing over the two.

    Matthew, are you living in Rick Snyder's basement now? Smiley

    Thanks Again.
