A touchless extraction arm is an innovative, universal, and ultra-versatile solution that can solve the problem of harmful gas extraction.
We discuss this in today's article!
To effectively remove exhaust gases from the working areas, it is necessary to install suitable extraction equipment that is easy to operate and meets the specific needs of the workshop.
In fact, the gases, being composed of very fine dust, cannot be filtered, but must be removed from the work area directly from the source of production to the outside.
This is the only way to avoid dangerous consequences on people's health and to ensure a healthy and efficient workplace.
In a world where speed, efficiency and quality of work are top priorities, it is necessary to have equipment that ensures maximum performance.
Touchless technology is a cutting-edge, versatile and high-performance solution that not only ensures maximum safety for workers but also makes the workshop an innovative and modern place.
The principle behind touchless technology consists of a a self-supporting arm held by a sophisticated system of springs and clutches, which allows exhaust gases to be extracted without coming into contact with the vehicles' muffler.
The arm is suspended at a minimum distance from the muffler, so that the gases are sucked in without any leakage to the surrounding environment.
Let's see what, specifically, are the advantages of this touchless extraction arm.
Thanks to its suspended design, the touchless extraction arm does not come into contact with the vehicles muffler, making it a universal solution and effectively eliminating the need for specific nozzles. This translates into significant cost savings on adapters, which then become unnecessary.
Considering the evolution of auto-vehicles, which every year are equipped with modified exhaust systems, and therefore with different specifications, the touchless arm provides significant savings in the long run.
Thanks to the structure of the arm supported by springs and clutches, operating this extraction system is really quick and easy.
By pulling the arm from the rope provided and bringing it closer to the exhaust, the technician will have already finished what we can consider the operations to put the vacuum system into operation.
Compared to other systems, such as those that are hooked to the muffler, we have considerable time saving and an impressive ease of use.
Another point in favour of this system is the fact that there is no need for specific nozzles. Technicians often spend time changing these accessories that are essential for the correct extraction of fumes, whereas with this system this task will be considerably quicker and more agile.
Because the touchless technology does not have to be hooked directly to the exhaust, it also avoids possible damage to the bodywork from small hits that result in scratches.
This is a great advantage for those who carry out this activity, because it effectively neutralizes the risks of these operations, so the technician will be able to work without worries, concentrating as much as possible on what his job is.
A contactless system eliminates the need for different nozzles, which inevitably take up space inside the warehouse.
Storage areas, therefore, are also neater and that space can be used for other purposes.
Not only that, when not in use, the extraction arm sits above the working area without creating obstacles or getting in the way of operators' work. It is therefore an unobtrusive solution that helps make the workshop much more efficient.
To obtain these benefits from the purchase of an exhaust gas extraction system, it is necessary to rely on a competent supplier who knows how to create a tailor-made design for the workshop or body shop, assessing the specific needs related to:
WORKY technicians can develop customized projects, built to the needs of the individual customer, analyzing each reality in depth, and then studying ad hoc solutions.
