Dec. 2020 Raul Colin Enrique Hernandez, Lifting Devices on Conveyors

Lifting Tables on Conveyors Scope This training material on this document addresses the steps that the IE Engineers need to consider to design the right lifting devices on conveyors to meet safety and ergonomic standards. In addition, this document address the importance of the lifting devices to meet Takt Time requirements BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020. All Rights Reserved.  2

Importance of Lifting Devices on Conveyors Why are the Lifting Systems important? The main purpose of using a lift device is to bring the work to an operator’s ergonomic comfort zone so they won’t have to unnecessary bend, reach or overexert themselves, which places them at risk to safety issues or the worst case an work related injuries BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020.

How do lift tables improve safety? Forceful exertions . Lift tables bring the load inside the worker’s power zone Repetitive motions. Repeated exertion and forcing a worker outside the power zone places operators in a high risk of developing muscular-skeletal issues Awkward Postures . Using a lift device on conveyor prevents operators from being expose to awkward or unnatural postures Static Postures . Staying in one posture for extended periods can also cause MSD Pressure Points. Pressure or pinch points also place operators in danger of injury BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020. All Rights Reserved.  5

How to design (Steps) a lifting device for conveyors Systems Selecting the proper lifting device requires a good grip on knowing what you need your lift for. The best step is making a list of all the reasons you need a lift table in your facility and what you want it to do. BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020. All Rights Reserved.  6 Items to consider when designing lifting devices: Capacity:  You need to know how much your typical load weights are and size your lift to slightly exceed maximum expected weights. Stroke:  This is the industry term for the length of the lift’s reach. Like capacity, you want your lift table specified for a bit beyond maximum expected reach. Size:  This refers to your load platform or tabletop size. Lift tables elevating conventional pallets need a matching area whereas specialized lift sizes may be smaller. Drive:  Knowing what drive mechanism you need is critical in sourcing the right table. Common drives are manual, mechanical, electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or some combination of each. Safety:  If there’s one choice to get right, it’s selecting a lift table with suitable safety features that protect your workers and your products.

Considerations for Lifting Devices Capacity One of the main items to be considered for lifting devices during the design stage is the weight of the unit: Weight is going to drive the type of design for the lifting device: Is the unit too heavy to move it manually? Does the lifting device need to be operated manually or automatically due to the weight of the unit? Does the conveyor have enough capacity to allow the unit to move down the stream safely? Does the unit design allow the lifting device to raise it without causing any safety issues or cosmetic damage? 7 BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020. All Rights Reserved. 

Lifting Device Stroke The stroke of the lifting device depends on of the actual unit dimensions (size) and type of application: Does the operator will be working on sitting position or standing? Is the height of the conveyor according to ergonomic standards? Too low? Too high? Meet standards? Does the facility support hydraulic or pneumatic lifter for proper stroke? Air pressure supply available? Availability of standard hydraulic oils? 8 BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020. All Rights Reserved. 

Lifter Table Size (Plate) The size of the lifting table depends on the design of the unit that needs to be lifted. This lifting table should be design to protect the operator arms and hands as well as the integrity of the product. Considerations for lifting tables: The size of the lifting tables should be designed according to the size of the base of the unit It is not recommended to design lifter tables that exceed the size of the conveyor width The lifter table should be designed to support the weight of the unit (thickness of the plate) Proper guards should be designed to cover any gaps between the plate and the conveyor. Gaps should not allow to place any moving body parts in between the plate and the conveyor Lifting tables should be made of the proper materials including locator pins, clamping devices, sitting pads, etc. to prevent any damage of units. Excessive wear of softer materials used by lifter plates could cause unsafe condition 9 BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020. All Rights Reserved. 

Lifter Table Drive D rive mechanism is critical in sourcing the right table. The Drive will affect how the stroke of the lifting device is going to behave when lifting the load. Several types of Drive are available in the market: Manual operation Mechanical operation Electric Pneumatic Or a combination of all of them The IE Engineer will decide which Drive is the appropriate for the load to be lifted safely. If the IE Engineer does not have the expertise to understand this important factor, the lifting device should be designed by an expert 10 BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020.

Safety If there’s one choice to get right, it’s selecting a lift table with suitable safety features that protect your workers and your products. Jabil EHS has a variety of documents showing the main requirements when designing, installing, and operating equipment for manufacturing processes. These documents have information for: Machinery Risk Assessment Safe machinery operations Emergency stops Maintenance Interlocks Calibration Machine Guarding Presence sensing devices General safety Controls 11 BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL | ©Jabil Inc. 2020.
