O-Ring Installation Automation Technology Keeps Workers Healthy and Boasts Saving to Companies
AGI, a leading provider of sophisticated automation products, releases news of advantages associated with their O-Ring Installation Tools. These dual motion grippers provide precise O-ring and seal placement capabilities for assembly lines and single station hand assists in varied manufacturing industries.
Experts agree that overuse of certain joints and tendons may contribute to ailments such as soreness, tendonitis, arthritis and carpel tunnel. "One great advantage of implementing O-Ring Installation Assembly Tools is that workers place less stress on their hands" says AGI President Peter Farkas. He goes on to say, "for years we have been aware of the advantages of using automated technologies, but the full benefits to workers and their employers are becoming more evident as new industries embrace the use of robotic assembly tools. It is really exciting to be able to offer manufacturers affordable solutions that can be implemented in a short time frame." AGI's recent investments in assembly processes and equipment make it possible for them to offer these products at competitive prices, and to deliver them to customers with little or no lead time.
Tremendously exciting to industry experts is that benefits are not limited to machinists and assembly line workers. The bottom line could be affected, too. According to Mr. Farkas, "when workers sustain injuries, they are not the only ones to suffer." Soaring medical costs and production losses resulting from repetitive motion injuries are increasingly daunting to manufacturers and stockholders alike. Both could be curbed significantly as more of these technologies are put into operation.
