How cranes create efficiency in aerospace
Whether building spacecraft, commercial aircraft, military helicopters or single-engine planes, manufacturers in the aerospace industry must lift, turn and position large, heavy components every day. There are many ways to do this, from ride-on vehicles like forklifts to conveyor belts and overhead equipment. However, aerospace manufacturers are increasingly turning to cranes and other hoist systems to precisely place critical equipment in ongoing construction projects.

A closer look at boring combustion parts
Cutting tool manufacturers have been responding to the market and providing creative, effective solutions for boring holes.
FTA Drum Handling Units
Liftomatic Material Handling Inc. introduces FTA drum handling units. The FTA drum handling units are designed for loading, unloading, palletizing and storage of steel drums in nearly any size or configuration, including 30 gallon, 55 gallon and 85 gallon.
Reduce time producing large parts
A dual-pallet horizontal machining center with a maximum workpiece swing of 3,200mm can handle the load.
Lift-Assist Device
A lift-assist device designed by Cynergy Ergonomics has proven to simplify the manufacturing of wood and steel doors while significantly enhancing safety. This purpose-designed lifter allows a single operator to lift and manipulate 300-lb. doors through various stages of the manufacturing process.
Air-Operated Burn Table Lift Magnet System
The new air-operated Burn Table Lift Magnet System from Eriez easily and quickly moves multiple parts or cut-outs up and off of burn tables. With a powerful magnetic circuit design, this advanced transfer system can also lift single sheets or plates up to 3" thick from a stack to load the table.
HCB Hoist Attachment
Liftomatic Material Handling Inc. introduced the HCB hoist attachment to handle all 55-gal. drums. The HCB hoist attachment safely lifts steel, fiber and plastic drums weighing up to 2,000 lbs. using Liftomatic's exclusive "Parrot-Beak" drum handling attachment.
Manual Turntables
Verti-Lift manual turntables enhance ergonomics and productivity by eliminating the need to walk around or reach across loads, especially during pallet loading or unloading. These heavy-duty, low-profile turntables have a ½" thick steel top turntable and boast a 4,000-lb. capacity.
MagnaShear Motor Brake
The MagnaShear motor brake from Force Control Industries employs oil shear technology, providing longer service life even in demanding applications like the frequent start/stop cycles seen on conveyors, or for critical holding applications like bulk conveyor loads. Proven oil shear technology transmits torque between lubricated surfaces, thereby eliminating wear on friction surfaces.
The Gantry Robot from SW North America
SW North America demonstrates its new Gantry Robot that enables barrier-free access to the machining centers (MC). The component is rotated in the gripper and loaded into the MC from above.
