ergonomics operator comfort, manoeuvrability and productivity. The zero gravity balancer consists of three main components: • the standard Ingersoll-Rand air balancer; • the new zero gravity control box; and • the new inline handle. In order to suspend the balancer, Ingersoll-Rand have provided new mounting brackets which allow you to use different types of suspension kits such as a trolley mount or hook mount kit. In addition to that you will see that the inline handle comes with a standard bottom hook connected to the bottom of the inline handle. The Zero Gravity Air Balancer features a force sensing handle that measures calibrated spring compression by a potentiometer. This feature causes the load to move up and down according to the direction you slide your hand.
Multiple ways to control The handle itself is equipped with an emergency stop button, two programmable input and output buttons for external integration, and an on off button. The handle has a free plug for external controls located off the back side, along with a locking plug located on the top. This is used to connect the bouncer to the control box. The zero-gravity balancer offers two ways of controlling the vertical movement of the balancer. The first of these two ways is by utilising the intuitive inline handle controls positioned directly above the hook. This feature allows the operator to simply pull up on the handle or push down on the handle to actuate motion. The operator can move the load up and down with the intuitive slide handle and without the use of buttons. The second way in which manmonthly.com.au
