3 Ways Automation Creates a More Ergonomic Work Environment

Factory automation can reduce employee injury by eliminating many of the highest risk scenarios. These conditions, known as ergonomic hazards, place undue strain on the musculoskeletal system. This includes the muscles and ligaments of the neck and lower spine, like the muscles, tendons, and nerves of the hands and wrists; and the bones and muscles surrounding the legs and knees. The good news is that automation offers direct solutions to many of these scenarios. Even in partially automated environments, assistive technology can significantly reduce the strain placed on human bodies. Here are three ways automation creates a more ergonomic work environment for workers.

Mersen Announces Expanded Ratings in Class RK1 Reducer Fuse Series

Mersen is pleased to announce the expansion of the 600V ratings to its first-to-market Class RK1 Reducer Fuse product series. The newly released 600V ratings provide a permanent and reliable solution and are designed to be used in all applications where standard UL Class RK-1, RK-5, K-5, and H fuses are typically employed. Certified as Special Purpose CSA/UL Listed Class RK1 fuses, these reduced current rating fuses are designed to fit into the next larger size fuse holders, providing the same high reliability performance, durability, and arc flash mitigation as standard Class RK1 fuses. Reducer Fuses can help achieve greater efficiency within a facility and are ideally suited for start-up or newly expanded manufacturing facilities that are ramping up production and electrical power demand. Upon approaching full capacity, the reduced rating Reducer Fuses can be readily replaced by higher standard rating fuses of the same body size, thus eliminating the need to replace the fuse panel.
