One way to maintain operator ergonomics is by reducing the noise levels in your facility. Excessive noise levels put the safety of your operators at risk and lead to several problems, including reduced productivity and increased costs. To protect your operators, consider incorporating the right tools into your assembly.
For one machining manufacturer, the well-being of their operators was vital to their daily assembly. Our customer was experiencing excessive noise levels in their plant, which put the health and safety of their operators at risk. In search of a solution that would reduce the noise levels in their facility, our customer reached out to our experts for help, and we delivered. Read on to learn how our tools were able to improve their assembly.
Our customer’s goals
As is the case of many manufacturing facilities, reducing the sound and noise levels is important to maintaining a pleasant and productive work environment. When operators are exposed to high levels of noise on the line, they are not only at risk of hearing loss, but they can also have a feeling of stress and fatigue as a result.
As a way to protect their operators and improve ergonomics, our customer knew they needed to reduce their noise levels. After speaking with our experts, the solution was clear. By replacing their existing drills with our LBB drills, we would significantly reduce the noise levels in their facility.
Atlas Copco’s Pneumatic LBB Drill
The LBB was an obvious choice for our customer. This drill is built to provide consistent reliability and performance in a wide range of applications. Designed with superior ergonomics and built to provide advanced productivity levels, this drill also features very low noise levels, which our customer would greatly benefit from. In addition to the reduced noise output, the LBB drill would provide them with greater flexibility, reduced vibrational output, and more.
Why choose Atlas Copco?
Here at Atlas Copco, your success is our success. When our customer came to us to reduce the noise level in their facility, we provided them with the right solution. After implementing 16 LBB drills in their facility, they were able to thrive. They have since received zero OSHA non-compliance claims, vibration issues for operators have been eliminated, and noise levels have been reduced at each station by 50%. Furthermore, by providing our customer with these drills, we enabled them to be more proactive rather than reactive to the high noise levels they were experiencing, which saved them $150,000 in personal protective equipment.
Our goal is to ensure that all our customers are satisfied and achieving their goals. Whether you have noise issues like that of the customer described above or something else entirely (issues with productivity, ergonomics, quality, etc.) you can count on our experts to help you find the solution that will completely transform your assembly processes for the better.
