Slip Resistant Aluminum Floor Plates Installed on Robot Work Platform

  • The Situation:

    SLIPNOT provided (7) 1/4” thick 5’ x 10’ 5052 Grade 2 aluminum floor plates; the most widely used metal since the 19th century. The Vice President of EFI said “this platform fits around a robot which unloads an aluminum casting cell. It is important that the surface be slip resistant because there will be excess oil dripping from the parts.”

    EFI currently has a slick robot work platform due to the amount of dripping oil during maintenance routines. Employees are worried about losing traction, so EFI contacted SLIPNOT Metal Safety Flooring in hopes to find a lightweight and slip resistant product that would be easily installed.

  • The Solution:

    SLIPNOT provided (7) 1/4” thick 5’ x 10’ 5052 Grade 2 aluminum floor plates; the most widely used metal since the 19th century. The Vice President of EFI said “this platform fits around a robot which unloads an aluminum casting cell. It is important that the surface be slip resistant because there will be excess oil dripping from the parts.”

    A similar project SLIPNOT worked on was IntelliKinetics, a full service automation company where SLIPNOT’s painted black Grade 2 aluminum floor plates were installed on robot platforms in a forging plant. IntelliKinetics was pleased and immediately ordered 10 more aluminum plates.

  • The Impact:

    SLIPNOT’s aluminum decking is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it requires minimal care, deters corrosion, and provides full slip resistant coverage in every direction. SLIPNOT’s aluminum floor plates are cut to specified dimensions making installation quick and easy. The new high traction surface keeps workers at ease while performing maintenance routines on the robots.
