Industrial Power Assist Manipulator Arm
1. Gravity balancing technology
• Counterbalances the weight of the workpiece using counterweights or pneumatic balancing cylinders to achieve 'zero operating force'.
• Example: When handling a 50 kg workpiece, the operator only needs to apply 1-2 kg of force.
2. Power-free floating function
• The robotic arm can hover at any position without continuous power or air supply.
3. Human-machine collaboration (Cobots) integration
• Combines with collaborative robots (such as UR, FANUC CRX) to accomplish more complex tasks
