The Russell Balance Arm is a new product development specifically designed to assist when reaching into awkward positions. It is for mounting on an overhead gantry system. It is lightweight and easy to use. This balancer/manipulator allows loads to be lifted and handled with ease. Because of the method of construction it allows loads to be off set from the vertical mast by as much as 2000mm. This makes it ideal for such operations as machine tool loading, reaching into ovens, lifting from enclosures, loading and unloading paint lines, loading presses etc. The handler incorporates an auto weight sense pneumatic circuit, which once the load has been lifted, allows movement via gentle hand pressure on the component in any direction, up or down. The system is completely failsafe and will never release the product in mid air due to loss of air supply or any other reason. In the event of air supply failure, the handler will retain the product and gradually lower to the floor in a controlled manner. Alternative circuits are also available.
