ExoIQ GmbH Exoskeleton S700

The exoIQ S700 is a shoulder exoskeleton designed to alleviate the strain on the arm, neck, and shoulder muscles for industrial workers. Using electro-pneumatic actuation, the S700 provides up to 5 kg of lift assistance per arm, making tasks at chest and shoulder height or overhead less taxing. The exoskeleton is adjustable to accommodate various body types without the need for tools and is tailored for tasks that require repetitive lifting or sustained upper body support, such as assembly or welding. One of the standout features of the S700 is its app-enabled customization, allowing users to select from preset support modes optimized for different tasks. The app not only adjusts the level of assistance but also conducts ergonomic analyses of workplace movements, aiding in preventing injury by detecting and visualizing body postures during use. The system’s battery-driven compressor and compact design ensure that users retain a full range of motion while receiving support tailored to their specific needs. The S700 is especially applicable in environments like automotive, logistics, and general manufacturing where repetitive overhead or chest-height tasks are common. Its quick adjustment and easy-to-use magnetic arm fasteners allow for efficient changeover between workers, supporting a hygienic multi-user setup with washable textile components. This exoskeleton contributes to workplace ergonomics by decreasing physical strain, potentially enhancing productivity and job satisfaction by reducing fatigue.
