Aerospace
 Airfloat air bearing applications save manpower and make better use of expensive factory floor space for efficient movement of assembly materials. See how easy it is to move a big airplane wing.

Air Skids
 Airfloat
air bearing air skids, often referred to as air skates
or air casters, can move small parts or big
manufactured homes along an assembly line without
using overhead cranes or in-floor track systems. Cranes
are expensive to install and maintain; in-floor track
systems are inflexible, not easy to change. Airfloat
air bearing air skids let product be moved anywhere
on the floor, turned end-for-end, or whatever movement
is needed for more efficient production and better
use of factory floor space.

Automotive
 Safer
movement of automotive
assemblies on the production line is enabled by
Airfloat's Innovation In Movement. Airfloat developed
a quick
die changing system to save time and increase safety
and productivity at a die-stamping work station.

Air Bearing Transporters
 A 19-ton engine lathe is moved 250 feet with only 38 pounds of force, using Airfloat air bearing technology. Air bearings let you move 1000 pounds with only a pound of force.

Custom Solutions
 Airfloat has the practical experience to design the ergonomically exact automation to make your workers fast and efficient.
|
Pneumatic Table Line
 Airfloat pneumatic tables move parts and assemblies to just the right position, at just the right height, for the most efficient production. Ergonomic efficiency lets work go faster with reduced risk of worker injury and repetitive-motion fatigue.

Government/Defense
 If
you want to move a 60-ton
Army tank around your factory or test facility
easily and safely, use a custom-designed Airfloat heavy
equipment mover. Save the capital cost and maintenance
headaches of overhead cranes by putting Airfloat's
practical experience to work for you.

Linefeed Turntables and Shuttles
 Airfloat pneumatic turntables and shuttles assure that parts are right where they're needed at the assembly line workstation. This six-position turntable lets the worker choose any one of six mufflers for the next truck on the line. Six muffler models.... no waiting!!
|
Heavy Industry
 When you need to move big subassemblies weighing many tons and position them accurately along your assembly line, Airfloat air bearing technology can do it. Airfloat air bearings eliminate expensive and dangerous overhead cranes. |
Modular Rack Handling Systems
 Airfloat material moving experience solved the challenge of positioning parts racks for easy operator loading access with a system that indexes racks and is modular for easy changeover to different production layout requirements. Worker safety is enhanced and fatigue is reduced.
|
Paper
 Airfloat designed an air-bearing paper roll transporter so one worker can move and position a large paper roll without risk of injury and the expense of forklift trucking. Eliminating the room needed for forklift maneuvering makes valuable floor space available for increased productivity.
|
Container Handling Systems
 Airfloat designed this container-handling system to position three containers so one would be raised to the ergonomically-correct height for operator access, and the other two could be moved on and off the system by forklifts, ensuring smooth product flow at the workstation.
|
Power
 Airfloat air bearing application experience met the challenge of moving massive electrical equipment without the use of expensive overhead cranes. Precise positioning of unwieldy electrical machinery can be done safely.
|
Quick Mold & Die Changers
 Molds and dies are heavy and cumbersome to change. While the changeout continues, valuable production time is lost. Airfloat designs mold and die changers to save time but enable safe handling by workers.
|
Rigging
 A few workers, just by themselves, moved a 34-ton vertical boring mill 200 feet using Airfloat air bearing technology operated with plant air supply. This was a big labor and cost saving over outside riggers and cranes.
|
Lean Manufacturing Solutions
 As lean manufacturing morphs into just-in-time, Airfloat is ready to apply years of Innovation In Movement to your material movement challenges. Let Airfloat help you make better use of factory and warehouse floor space, increase worker safety, reduce worker fatigue, reduce costs, increase productivity, and increase profits.
