Ergonomic Partners utilizes the Gorbel G-Force® models BX, BXi, Q and iQ to integrate with lifting devices for precise, quick placement of parts. This servo hoist or intelligent assisted lifting device (IAD) is unmatched in it’s speed and precision.

Gorbel’s G-Force® and Easy Arm™ devices are part of an exciting new family of material handling equipment known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD’s). They use exclusive patented technology and an industrial processor controlled servo drive systems to deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed. Their fusion of advanced technology and basic human guidance maximizes productivity while minimizing the risk of injury to the operator.

Infinite Speed and Control

The G-Force® and Easy Arm™ move with the operator. They move as fast or as slow as the operator chooses to move. They are ideal for applications that require high speed at some points in the cycle and slow, precise movements at other points.

Blazing Speeds

With speeds reaching 200 fpm and Easy Arm™ speeds reaching 180 fpm. These devices travel up to 4 times faster than traditional high end lifting devices currently on the market, making them the fastest, most precise lifting devices on the planet.

Pinpoint Precision

The Gorbel Hoist delivers unparalleled precision with speeds of less than 1 fpm. This give the operator the control necessary to finesse expensive or fragile parts.

The Safe Alternative

Operators want to use the Gorbel hoist because they’re easy to learn and easy to use. They are safer than manual lifting and dramatically reduce worker injury cost.

Anti-Recoil Technology

This prevents the hoist from moving or recoiling when there is a sudden change in load, reducing the risk of potentially serious injury.

Capacity Overload

The unit will not lift if the load exceeds the rated capacity.

Power Loss Protection

A fail safe load braking system lock the unit in place in the event of a power loss.

Operator Present Function

The handle grip of the G-Force® and Easy Arm™ uses a built in photo sensor that doesn't allow the unit to move unless the operator initials the movement.

Float Mode Option

Both Gorbel hoists offer a versatile Float Mode. With a mere 1/2 pound (227 g) of force on the load itself, operators can precisely orient loads throughout the full stroke range by manipulating the load with their hands. This makes the unit truly a zero gravity lifter.

The Smart Investment

G-Force® technology makes your work force more productive by increasing their efficiency and enabling them to perform complex tasks.The G-Force® and the Easy Arm™ are more cost effective than completely robotic solutions and they don’t require the costly custom programming that robots need to perform even the simplest tasks.

The Perfect Solution

The Easy Arm™ gives you the best of both worlds: the responsiveness and flexibility of a human operator plus the power of a machine. And, they incorporate a range of speeds, making them perfect for quick, repetitive motions and slow, precise placements.
