The VX VARIO variable-speed hoist enabled millimetre-precise positioning of sensitive aerospace components, eliminating mechanical shock and reducing assembly cycle times.
Aerospace component assembly demands a level of precision that standard lifting equipment cannot achieve. A specialist manufacturer required a hoist solution capable of handling sensitive structural components with millimetre accuracy and zero mechanical shock.
Verlinde was selected to supply its EUROCHAIN VX VARIO, a variable-speed hoist designed specifically for precision handling applications.
The assembly process involved positioning large, high-value aerospace components into exact tolerances — any mechanical shock or imprecise movement risked costly damage.
Key challenges included: — Need for smooth, stepless speed control from creep speed to full speed — Zero tolerance for mechanical shock during lowering or positioning — Requirement for extremely precise stopping accuracy — Compatibility with the facility's existing overhead structure
Verlinde supplied the EUROCHAIN VX VARIO, featuring full variable-speed control via integrated inverter technology. This enabled operators to transition seamlessly from high-speed travel to ultra-slow creep speed for final positioning.
The hoist's smooth acceleration and deceleration curves eliminated mechanical shock, while the precise electronic brake system ensured accurate stopping at any point in the load's travel.
The VX VARIO delivered the precision the assembly process demanded: — Positioning accuracy improved to within ±2 mm — Zero mechanical shock incidents recorded post-installation — Assembly cycle times reduced by an estimated 15% — Operator confidence and ease of use significantly improved
