Multi-Use Power Lift
March 1, 2014
Butler Mobility uses a high-tech power lift for its inclined platform wheelchair lift. That same power unit can also be used for other applications and purposes, including material lifts, low-speed mixing, packaging machinery, conveyors and also as a control for batch or continuous processes, such as baking or heat treating.
The unit has a rigid, double-decker chassis design that includes thick aluminum plates and durable fasteners. The power unit also features a brake that safely holds the motor without power, as well as a gearbox in a sealed unit. The power design keeps the output from moving. The unit's chain drive is rated for more than a 6,000 lb. capacity.
The device's power unit controls allow the system to operate on low-current 24 VDC power supply. With the PLC and expansion module wired to three front-panel connectors, there are three switch circuits, including forward, stop and reverse applications.
An emergency stop switch circuit passes through two of the connectors and disconnects the AC drive from the motor, releasing the brakes to hold the motor. Other features include UL listed electrical components and a battery backup for at least five minutes of full load operation.
