Ergonomic Overhead Lifting, Easy Arm, Free Standing G-Jib Crane

The G-Force is part of an existing new family of material handling equipment known as Intelligent Lifting Devices (ILD’s). It uses exclusive patented technology and an industrial processor controlled servo drive system to deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed. Its fusion of advanced technology and basic human guidance maximizes productivity while minimizing the risk of injury to the operator.

Infinite Speed Control
G-Force moves with the operator, as fast or as slow as the operator chooses to move. It is ideal for applications that require high speed at some points in the cycle and slow, precise movements at other points.

Pinpoint Precision
G-Force delivers unparalleled precision at speeds from less than 1 fpm up to 200 fpm to give operators the control necessary to finesse expensive or fragile parts.

Blazing Speeds
With speeds reaching 200 fpm, the G-Force travels up to 4 times faster than traditional high-end lifting devices currently on the market, making it the fastest, most precise lifting device on the plant.

Optional Float Mode for Added Control
The G-Force is available with our versatile Float Mode option. With a mere ½ lb. of force on the load itself, operators can precisely orient loads throughout the full stroke range by manipulating the load with their hands.

The Easy Arm Intelligent Lifting Arm is a combination of our G-Force lifting device and an articulating jib crane. It is an ideal solution if you’re looking for a turnkey, plug and play lifting solution. You get all the strength, precision and speed of our patented G-Force lifting technology and processor controlled electric servo drive system in the body of an ergonomic articulating jib crane.

Choose Free Standing Easy Arm For:

• Smaller work areas that require 14’ spans or less
• Capacities of 165 lb to 330 lb.
• Easy installation: unit ships assembled and ready to be installed.
• No foundation required (some conditions apply, see installation manual for details).
• Easy relocation: the Easy Arm is simply bolted to the floor.

Applications:

• Reaching into a work cell or around obstructions.
• Reaching under overhead obstruction like exhaust hoods.
• Reaching into machines.
• High cycle pick and place.
• Loading/unloading machined parts.

The G-Jib is a servo-powered lifting device that fuses our G-Force technology with our enclosed track work station jib crane. We’ve mounted the G-Force actuator near the mast of the jib, so you’re not moving that dead weight like you do with traditional jib crane and hoist combinations.

• Saving valuable floor space.
• Hook heights over 11’.

• Spans to 16’
• Capacities of 330 and 660 lbs.
• Heights under boom to 14’

The Pivot Pro is an articulating jib that is specifically designed for applications under 150 lbs. Its smaller capacity allows it to have a lighter, less bulky design, so it’s easy to move. This lessons physical stress on workers, reduces employee injuries, and leads to increased efficiency.

The in-line slide handle allows operators to get close to the load for more control and precision.

With this handle, the load moves with the motion of the operator’s hand. The in-line slide handle was designed to fit comfortably in the hand, and features an LCD display that communicates valuable diagnostic information about the unit.

Choosing the right end-effector tooling to complement
your G-Force® and Easy Arm® is the key to maximizing your lifting solution. End-effector tooling
engages the load so it can be lifted and manipulated in whatever way your application requires –
whether the load needs to be flipped, turned, or rotated. Gorbel dealers utilize our worldwide
network of tooling integrators to provide the best solution for your application.

For more precise control, choose the optional G-Force Pendant Handle. Its buttons require less force to depress, reducing the potential for fatigue and repetitive stress injuries of the hand and wrist.

The Pendant handle can directly replace any existing G-Force or Easy Arm remote mount handle or can be configured as a suspended pendant. It can also be integrated with Soft Touch Pneumatic Handle Components to control end effector functions and the up/down motion of the G-Force on one handle.

Gorbel’s Soft Touch  Control Handles can used to control any pneumatic or electric device. They have a standard mounting surface for direct bolt-on replacement and can replace most existing manufacturer’s pneumatic or electric handles on the market today.

• Soft Touch Handle buttons require 50% less force to depress than competitive handles, reducing the potential for fatigue and repetitive stress injuries of the hand and wrist.
• Offers more flexibility in tooling choices and the ability to customize for tooling applications.
• It is a direct replacement for any standard use handle.
• Gorbel has up to four buttons per handle to fit all your customers’ application needs.
