REL - 1 Gravity - 0 REL’s gate design combats gravity with Servo controlled gate motion
REL has designed and manufactured a solution to increase operator safety at a drywall manufacturing facility. REL designed the new gate solution to eliminate issues that arise due to the gravitation field we are subjected to here on earth. The previous design could swing down uncontrollably in the event of a component failure due to this field. This event would put operators at risk. REL pulled out all of the stops to combat issues that arise due to this pesky gravitational field.
REL utilized:
- Servo controlled motion with appropriate interlocks,
- Gate Weight Counterbalancing,
- Redundant Drive linkages,
- Non-overhauling gearboxes.
