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

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,

    that would be neat to see. we perform more product development measurements seeing the parts only for a year or so before we hand it off to manufacuring. We do have a wheels division where they could use that type of set up within the manufacuring eviroment.


    We are getting more and more interest in automation as more industries streamline. Moral of the story: if you get replaced by a robot, you better learn how to program robots.




    Josh,

    Good to hear form you. Hope everything is treating you well. They are talking about moving us to AWE. We shall see if it really happens. I am still looking for a good metrologisit if you want to come back..... Slight smile When do you think you be in town again? We should get together and catch up.


    I'm trying to plan a summer visit as it's been over 2 years since I've seen my family - I have a neice I haven't met yet. I'll call you once I know when.
