The manipulator 'floats' the load; from the perspective of the operator the load appears weightless. No 'up' or 'down' pushbuttons are required. Each model of manipulator can be configured with many arm length combinations in from 40" to 90" in 10" increments. Rotational hard stops on the first and second axis are adjustable. Vertical travel range is adjustable via soft stops on the first axis. A hard stop on the 3rd axis permits approximately 700° of rotation. Brakes are included for the fist and second axis to prevent drift (a third axis brake is optional). Safety shutdown - In the event of an air loss, a circuit in the manipulator control panel will prevent the arm from falling. A bleed valve is provided to safely relieve pressure in the balance cylinder (and lower the arm). The end effector can be configured to prevent the part from being released until the manipulator interprets that the part is resting on a surface.
