G-Force
and the
Gorbel Easy Arm are part of a new family of
material handling equipment known as Intelligent
Lift Assist devices.
The G-Force uses patented technology and an
industrial processor controlled drive system to
deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed.
The
Easy Arm integrates the G-force into an
ergonomic articulating jib crane.
These Intelligent Lift Assists enable operators to
lift and maneuver naturally, as if the device were
an extension of their own arm. The G-Force will help
improve productivity, reduce the cost of product
damage, and minimize work related injuries.
The G-Force is available in two series:
BXi series with full features
The streamlined BX Series (lower
cost alternative).
Both series are available in
150#, 300#, and 380# capacities.
Features of both units:
Pinpoint precision - speeds from
1 fpm (0.3 mpm) up to 275 fpm (83mpm)
Blazing speed - travels up to 4
times faster than traditional high end lifting
devices
Infinite speed control - ideal
for applications that require high speed at some
points in the cycle and slow, precise movements
at other points
The G-Force IAD gives the
responsiveness and flexibility of a human
operator plus the power of a machine. It
incorporates a range of speeds so it is perfect
for quick, repetitive motions and slow, precise
placements.
Read the
Ergonomic Lifting Study
shows that the G-Force outperforms other lifting
devices in both high cycle and precision placement
applications.
G-Force
TM BX Series
This
streamlined BX Series is a lower cost alternative
for those applications that require the speed and
precision of the BXi, but not the added intelligence
and flexibility. Available in 150#, 300#, and 380#
capacities. Higher capacities are available.

G-Force TM
BXi Series
The BXi model comes loaded with standard
intelligence features and programmability to
customize it to your application. This series comes
in capacities of 150#, 300#, and 380#. Higher
capacities are available.
Contact
Ergonomic Partners for applications analysis and
assistance.
Added Intelligence Capabilities:
Teachable virtual limits and
speed reduction points - unit can be taught to
stop or reduce speed when it reaches specific
points in its lifting range
External inputs/outputs -
endless possibilities exist for the I/O on the
BXi model. Ergonomic Partners can assist
you with customized programming to maximize your
BXi flexibility.
E-stop output - the E-stop can
trigger or stop the external system that it is
tied to (conveyor, CNC machine)
Option to interface with data
systems via DeviceNet - external systems that
use DeviceNet protocol can read or control the
data points and parameters of the G-Force
Easily accessible external
communications port - any computer equipped with
special software can be used to upgrade or
monitor performance
G-Force is best suited to operation
when mounted to light capacity
Gorbel cranes using
aluminum bridges as shown in the photos above.
G-Force can be integrated with
custom
designed lift assists and lift devices for your
special applications.
