A forging and press plant contacted IntelliKinetics in regards to their forty robots that needed a lightweight, durable, and slip resistant material installed on the base so that employees maintain their traction while working.

The Purchasing Agent at IntelliKinetics contacted SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring in regards to the robot platforms. SlipNOT® provided (40) custom cut ¼” x 11” x 71” Grade 2 5052 aluminum plates that were painted black. The robots form hammers and axes on a daily basis and once they are shut down, the employees need to make sure the robots are up to code, which usually involves a lubricant and could cause a slip and fall accident.

IntelliKinetics and their customer were pleased with the non slip aluminum plates, they immediately ordered 10 more shortly after. The Purchasing Agent said the plates were easily installed and proved to be a high traction and corrosion resistant surface for employees.
