Thus when it comes to controlling the environment, the choice of building material is crucial. When comes to optimizing on ergonomics, however, the interface design and of choice of components play a pivotal role, too.
Wearing various forms of cleanroom garments can make handling lift equipment a challenge. We do what we can to ease the that task. For instance, we have designed a ‘glove-friendly’ user interface on the remote control, so that the buttons are easily felt through the gloves.
The typical choice of lifting mechanics inside a lifter column is a ball screw drive. Such a solution does have advantages, but the amount of grease and lubricants required to make it work properly can constitute a contamination risk.
Thus, instead we use a contamination risk free solution (that is height precise, too) which consists of a belt strengthened with stainless steel wires. This does not require any lubricants and is thus contamination safe.
On top of this, this system is maintenance free.
The choice of wheels is also something that we are very conscious of. Not only should they be an optimal fit for the given floor in order to obtain least friction and thus cause the least strain possible to the human body, but for contamination reasons, they also shouldn’t mark the floor either.
