Woodstock Precision Machining (WPM) is a single source provider of complete manufacturing solutions headquartered in Woodstock. They provide laser cutting, Blanchard grinding and CNC metal forming and machining services to manufacturing partners throughout Ontario. In order to take a proactive approach to safety, WPM has a long standing partnership with Liftsafe Engineering and Service Group that allows them to incorporate systems thinking into their overall production and safety planning. Recently, WPM worked with Liftsafe to come up with a safe and efficient solution to loading sheets of metal onto their automated CNC machine. Liftsafe recommended a workstation bridge crane with an easy arm articulated jib crane equipped with a zero gravity feature together with a custom vacuum handling steel sheet lifter. This solution worked to eliminate repetitive lifting strains and increase productivity.
