Positech: LodeArm lightweight manipulator
By 24/7 Staff 
September 1, 2012

For maneuvering payloads up to 275 pounds, the pneumatic LodeArm lightweight manipulator from Positech increases workers’ capacity to perform physically stressful, repetitive lifting tasks. Easily adjustable to fit almost any work cell, the LodeArm lift is ideal for low-headroom applications, and provides rigid support and reach-in capability.

Features include a pilot-operated lock valve on lift cylinder, gripper cylinders that prevent downward arm movement and loss of payload if supply pressure is interrupted, and gripper safety circuitry to prevent accidental release of unsupported payloads.

Offered in four model configurations, the device provides up to 54 inches of vertical lift and flexible mounting options, including overhead, trolley, pedestal, wall mount, column, machine or mobile/portable base.
