How the actuator reduces physical strain
Imagine working in a laboratory where you have to open and close a soundproof hood several hundred times a day to take measurement samples. By evening, you feel like you've been lifting weights for 8 hours straight. Such a significant physical strain quickly leads to exhaustion and illness-related absences - a comfortable and employee-friendly solution looks different.
Protecting and relieving employees
That's why the American manufacturer Novascan Technologies, one of the leading companies for innovative products in the research field, has now come up with a clever solution that protects, relieves, and prevents workplace accidents.
Soundproof hood in closed position
Smart solution - executed simply
One of these is this soundproof hood, weighing a hefty 200 kg, which is easily opened and closed 100 times or more per day in everyday operation. Here's how Novascan solved this problem: Two linear actuators from GROB Antriebtechnik move the soundproof hoods quickly and silently.
What technology is behind it?
Two actuators from the FD series, each with a maximum load of 3,000 N, ensure a smooth and precise movement of the hood. Built-in limit switches prevent the actuator from extending beyond the set endpoint and being damaged. The two electric cylinders operate synchronously and can be easily and comfortably operated by the operator with the included manual control.
