The ATS expert mechanical engineering team set to work immediately to examine the process and come up with a solution.The initial work to study the requirement and formulate a 3D visualization of the solution was completed within 1 week and a costed proposal presented to Paccar. This despite the demanding design constraints:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 tight access<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 heavy\/hazardous product characteristics<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 ease of use for the operator<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 equipment ergonomics<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 design simplicity and cost<\/p>\n<p>The clear and easy to understand simulation of the solution presented by the ATS engineers enabled Paccar to see the solution (and how it would work in practice) and reach a quick decision on how to proceed. ATS then set about turning the design into reality. With the ability to draw upon over 70 quality checked fabrication shops; scheduling is never an issue and the design was turned into reality in under 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>With follow up engineering support to help Paccar install the Manipulator, the overall project initiation to fruition took only 7 weeks. And in turn the benefit for the assembly operators was immense \u2013 reduced effort, reduced risk of injuries, less accidental damage to both battery models and cab assemblies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/storage\/images\/article\/References-paccar-manipulator.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/storage\/images\/article\/References-paccar-manipulator.jpg\" alt=\" Paccar: Manipulator for Battery Module Handling \" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3D visualization of the solution<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"success_stories_industry":[],"business_offerings":[],"page_categories":[],"knowledge_services":[],"class_list":["post-39860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized-cs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39860"},{"taxonomy":"success_stories_industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/success_stories_industry?post=39860"},{"taxonomy":"business_offerings","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business_offerings?post=39860"},{"taxonomy":"page_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/page_categories?post=39860"},{"taxonomy":"knowledge_services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ats-global.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge_services?post=39860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
