A transformer deceives. It is barely bigger than a moving box and weighs five times as much – and setting it into a housing leaves so little room all round that fingers no longer fit between.
Take the transformer off the pallet, guide it to the assembly station, position it over the mount and lower it. The centre of gravity is rarely central – winding, terminal box and core shift it. By hand it is lifted in pairs, and the last centimetres are guessed: the view of the contact points is blocked by the part itself. Crushing risk to the hands is the rule here, not the exception.
If the pick-up point does not sit above the centre of gravity, the part tilts until the two align – and while lowering into a tight housing that is exactly the moment it strikes. So the mount gets a sliding pick-up point with labelled detents. For each type the setting is determined once; changing over then takes seconds.
Gripping is at the core stack or the provided pick-up points, not at the terminal box, terminal strip or winding – those carry nothing and take damage. A positive mount reaching under the core stack or entering pick-up holes holds securely and leaves the delicate parts free. With changing designs we use adjustable supports rather than several grippers.
The contact points are hidden at the decisive moment. So alignment happens while sight remains, and lowering is then vertical: a device with a guided lift axis holds the angle while the hands only guide lightly. Stops and end positions on the mount preset the position – the last centimetres are then no longer guesswork, and fingers stay out of the crush zone.

Rigid arm. The part is lowered into a tight mount and guided in the process – a balancer would swing out at the moment of contact. For plain transport from the pallet the balancer would be right, for fitting it is not.
Yes, then usually via a rail system with higher capacity rather than a pillar jib. The kinematics stay the same; what changes is sizing, anchoring and how the part reaches the station at all.
One short conversation usually settles more than three quotations. Call or write — you will reach an engineer directly.
