Hey folks, here's an improvement we should have made much sooner. At our leg-bending station, the operator could occasionally see the welding arc from a robotic welder about 10 metres away. We couldn't simply close off the opening because we regularly need to move material through the area. So to fix the problem, our team extended the welding curtain and mounted part of it on a sliding track. When material needs to pass through, we open it. The rest of the time, it stays closed and shields the operator from the welding arc. It's a simple improvement that makes the workstation safer and removes a recurring frustration for the operator. 👉 Subscribe for more practical lean improvements and real-world manufacturing ideas.
