AUTOBALANCE SYSTEM
...FOR ERGO ARM MANIPULATORS
Ergo Arm Manipulators have always offered the fastest, smoothest material handling solution avalible. But they have always had a drawback in that traditionally they are only able to pick up one or two weights without changing settings.
The AUTOBALANCE SYSTEM (patent pending) solves this problem by allowing the manipulator to automatically reset the balance point with every lift.
The AUTOBALANCE SYSTEM is a technological advance in manipulator control which enables an operator to lift many different weights in succession, even if the operator does not know the weight of the next part.
A manipulatior is an air-powered arm (no electricity) that floats the weight of a load while the operator directs it. Air pressure balances the weight of the arm in both loaded and unloaded state. The result is lifting ease, control and speed surpassing that of any crane.
An ergo arm manipulator can either be mounted to a post that is fastened to the floor or hung from an overhead structure.
The AutoBalance system is available in either of two modes:
AutoBalance 'pushbutton mode' and AutoBalance 'sensor mode'.
PUSHBUTTON MODE
In pushbutton mode, the operator presses an up button until the load is perfectly balanced and the operator floats the load without pressing any more buttons.
SENSOR MODE
the operator simply pulls up on the handlebars until the load rises away from its support. Again, the load is balanced, and the operator can float the load easily.
Other controls, such as grip, release, rotate and tilt are operated through pushbuttons located on the handlebars.
Manipulators deliver faster time cycles, improved productivity and better ergonomics; the AutoBalance feature adds versatility.
