The Importance of Precision Positioning Lift Applications

As manufacturing companies produce complex parts using processes with a high level of accuracy, there is mounting pressure to get more done faster. This can create unique challenges for product manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers. If the product requires high accuracy and stability, an Autoquip precision positioning lift solution can provide game-changing results.  

Precision positioning lifts can be placed in a fixed position and accommodate objects on the lift platform that require stabilization. This provides workers performing complex tasks over extended periods the access they need. These lifts can be configured exactly to customer specifications and are more effective than manual positioning.

Projects that require precise handling have to be correct; there is no margin for error. By using various components in our lift designs, including sensors, controls, and actuators, these lifts can successfully handle extreme loads and unusual objects.

Autoquip has extensive experience with these specialized lifts and can help customers realize the important benefits they provide, including:

1. Maximum Accuracy

Our hydraulic lift systems designed with electrical transducers and operated by programmable controllers (PLCs) can achieve accuracies as precise as one-tenth of an inch on a repeatable basis. Customers who require non-hydraulic options can utilize our mechanical lifting technology options for consistently accurate results.

2. Drift Prevention

In applications where no drift is required, even a slight variation in either direction could create an undesirable outcome, we can design the lift to prevent drifting. Our control systems, electro-mechanical positioning systems can help stabilize the lifts at predetermined levels.

3. System And Equipment Integration

When integration between an existing system or piece of equipment is required, our precision lifts get the job done. This is a critical aspect for lifts that must travel to a specific location, mate with other components, or connect to a conveyor. The Autoquip team will work with you to ensure that the integration supports your existing workflow for a seamless transition. 

4. Workplace Safety

Autoquip lifts are designed with standard safety features to enable safe operation. Additional safeguards that protect personnel, equipment, and the work area can be added to meet specific application requirements. This provides an extra layer of safety to complex precise positioning applications.

5. Enhanced Production

Precision positioning lifts enable repeatability, shorten project completion timelines, reduce costs due to damaged materials, and improve product quality.
