Some examples of Indeva applications
Compared to traditional pneumatic control manipulators the electronically controlled INDEVA offers countless advantages that produce: more ERGONOMICS, more SAFETY and more PRODUCTIVITY.
- Auto-weight sense and automatic load balancing
The INDEVA not only automatically balances the load weight, but also senses the load weight continually, adjusting the balancing accordingly as the weight changes. Thanks to this feature the operator can handle loads with varying sizes or weights (e.g.: drum, cases, bags etc.. emptying) without interruption to adjust balancing by means of push buttons or pressure regulator.
Traditional pneumatic control manipulators, including those called auto-balancing, balance the weight as load is lifted, but do not automatically and continually sense the weight and do not automatically adjust balancing as weight varies; counter balancing is much slower because it takes much longer for pneumatic signals, compared to electronic signals, to travel around the circuits. - High precision in load positioning
The INDEVA gripping tool doesn't overtravel nor bounce and doesn't require lots of little corrective movements to reach the required position, as do pneumatic controlled manipulators. The float mode function (hands on the load) allows operators to perform precision placement tasks with their hands on the load itself for maximum control with no need to use handles or to press buttons; this mode is very useful especially when load has to be placed in a restricted area or with delicate loads that could be affected by typical bounces of pneumatic control manipulators. - More ergonomics and effortless handling
The fingertip control mode by means of an in line force sensing handle, provides immediate response to the operator's moves up and down. This drastically reduces inertia and allows the system to operate as an extension of the operator's arm. The effort required by the operator for moves along the Z axis is therefore constant and almost null; this together with their ergonomic design make the INDEVA the best material handling solution to comply with the strict regulations and directives on ergonomics and safety in manual load handling. - Quick movements
The INDEVA responds swiftly yet smoothly to human touch, winning inertia both during acceleration and braking, amplifying operator movements. The operator notices no time lapse between the machine sensing and its response, which is impossible with pneumatic control manipulators - Greater visibility and ease of maneuvrability
Lifting tools used for the INDEVA are much lighter and more compact than those used for traditional manipulators and allow for greater visibility and ease of maneuverability. - Versatility.
The Liftronic Easy series INDEVA gripping tools can be equipped with a quick coupling device, by means of which it is possible to change quickly and easily different toolings and handle different types of loads with only a 15 seconds work interruption. Modifications to handling parameters or tooling functions are very easy to carry out via electronic software. This is especially important in case of special tooling with multiple functions.
