Equipois Inc. Launches zeroG Sanding Solution To Boost Productivity and Eliminate Injuries for the Aerospace Industry, with annualized ROI in excess of 250%
Los Angeles – Equipois Inc., pioneer of award-winning zeroG® mechanical arm technologies, will launch its tailored solution for overhead sanding operations in aircraft maintenance and manufacturing operations at the Cygnus Aviation Expo on February, 23rd, 2011.
Equipois’s patented zeroG technology allows tools, parts and other objects to be maneuvered as if weightless, with the greatest freedom of motion available. Lift and motion is achieved with zero power consumption. The zeroG Sanding Solution lets workers maneuver sanders with a fraction of the effort normally required, but with complete fine motor control. The result is dramatic increases in throughput and reduction of workplace injuries. Equipois developed the solution through pilots with some of the world’s top aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing, and airlines such as Delta Airlines. Customers have enjoyed annualized returns on investment in excess of 250%, with a payback of less than six months.
“Overhead sanding is one of the most challenging operations in the aviation industry,” said Eric Golden, Equipois’s CEO. “It is a costly bottleneck and a source of debilitating worker injuries. Thanks to helpful input from our customers, we were able to develop a new best practice that will make sanding much safer and more efficient, while maintaining or even improving quality of work.”
The zeroG Sanding Solution is available in configurations to fit a range of standard sanding tools and work environments. For more information, visit www.equipoisinc.com/application/sanding/
