Gradinlift has successfully designed and delivered advanced 3-axis paint booth personnel lifts for J. Wagner Company Limited, with the end user being HITACHI. These lifts are specifically engineered to enhance efficiency and safety in paint booth operations, allowing precise three-dimensional movement for personnel during the spray painting process.

Project Requirements & Technical Challenges
The client required a personnel lift capable of:

1. 200KG load capacity to accommodate an operator and equipment.
2. X-axis horizontal movement of 10 meters for full coverage within the paint booth.
3. Y-axis vertical travel of 5.8 meters to access various heights.
4. Z-axis telescopic extension of 2.7 meters for reaching recessed areas.

One of the key challenges was ensuring structural stability while meeting the demanding Z-axis telescopic extension of 4.3 meters, all while maintaining the 200KG load capacity. Additionally, the ABB explosion-proof motor brake system was costly and had long lead times. To address this, Gradinlift implemented a high-performance electromagnetic braking system, achieving the required braking performance while reducing costs and delivery time.

Innovative Engineering & Design Solutions

1. Optimized Structural Design: The lift was engineered with a reinforced telescopic mechanism to support the extended reach and load capacity without compromising safety.
2. Electromagnetic Braking System: A cost-effective solution replacing ABB’s brake system, ensuring reliable braking and stability.
3. External Electrical Control Box: To comply with the paint booth environment, the electrical control system was strategically installed outside the booth for safety and ease of maintenance.
4. Drag Chain Cable Protection: Given the extensive cable routing for X-Y axis movement, a high-durability drag chain was incorporated to protect cables, ensuring smooth and safe operation despite large bending radii.

Successful Implementation & Client Satisfaction
Gradinlift’s custom-engineered solution met all client specifications, delivering a highly reliable, safe, and efficient personnel lift for precision spray painting in HITACHI’s paint booth. The successful delivery and installation of this 3-axis personnel lift reinforce Gradinlift’s expertise in designing custom lifting solutions for industrial painting applications.
