Background / Point for Development
Background
- Usually transporting slippers are costly because they have to be made to fit each product type.
- Normally, hard material such as MC nylon or steel is used for pins which directly contact and thus risk of damaging the work surface. Also, in the case of MC nylon, chips can stick and cause line stop.
Point for Development
- The “Transporting Slipper” has a split upper jig and lower jig to reduce investment costs by replacing only the upper jig when changing products.
- The unique injection molded resin pins prevent the scratching of workpiece surface.
