Gorbel G-Force™ Intelligent Assist Devices for
Ergonomic Lifting
Cynergy Ergonomics is pleased
to
announce we have been named
as one of the select companies
nationwide designated as an
authorized Gorbel G-Force and
Easy Arm certified service center!
The
Gorbel G-Force™and Gorbel Easy Arm™
are part of a new family of Material Handling equipment
known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD's).
The G-Force™ Intelligent
Lifting Device uses patented technology and an industrial
processor controlled drive system to deliver unmatched
lifting precision and speed.
The Easy Arm™ Intelligent
Lifting Arm uses Gorbel's patented G-Force™ technology and
an industrial processor controlled drive system, and
integrated them into an ergonomic articulating jib design.
How G-Force Works
The G-Force™
enables operators to lift and maneuver naturally, as if the
device were an extension of their own arm. The G-Force™
will help improve productivity, reduce the cost of product
damage, and minimize work related injuries.
The G-Force™ is available in two series:
the BXi series and the streamlined
BX Series (lower cost alternative). Both
series are available in 150# and 300# capacities. The G-Force™ is
also available integrated with our
Easy Arm™ articulating jib crane.
Features:
Pinpoint precision - speeds from 1 foot per minute
(0.3 mpm) up to 275 fpm (83mpm)
Blazing speed - travels up to 4 times faster than
traditional high end lifting devices
Infinite speed control - ideal for applications that
require high speed at some points in the cycle and slow, precise
movements at other points
The G-Force™ IAD gives the responsiveness and
flexibility of a human operator plus the power of a machine. It
incorporates a range of speeds so it is perfect for quick,
repetitive motions and slow, precise placements.
New Ergonomic Lifting Study
A new ergonomic lifting study shows that
the G-Force™ outperforms other lifting devices in both high
cycle and precision placement applications.

G-Force™
BXi Series
The BXi model comes loaded with standard intelligence features
and programmability to customize it to your application. This
series comes in capacities of 150 and 300 pounds. Higher
capacities are available - contact Cynergy Ergonomics.
Added Intelligence Capabilities:
Teachable virtual limits and speed reduction points
- unit can be taught to stop or reduce speed when it reaches
specific points in its lifting range
External inputs/outputs - endless possibilities
exist for the I/O on the BXimodel. Contact Cynergy Ergonomics™ for customized programming to
maximize your BXi flexibility
E-stop output - the E-stop can trigger or stop the
external system that it is tied to (conveyor, CNC machine)
Option to interface with data systems via DeviceNet
- external systems that use DeviceNet protocol can read or control
the data points and parameters of the G-Force™
Easily accessible external communications port - any
computer equipped with special software can be used to upgrade or
monitor performance
G-Force™ BX Series
This streamlined BX Series is a lower cost
alternative for those applications that require the speed
and precision of the BXi, but not the added intelligence and
flexibility. Available in 150 pound and 300 pound
capacities. Higher capacities available - contact
Cynergy Ergonomics.

Easy Arm™
The Brains of a G-ForceTM
, The Body of a Jib.
Easy Arm™
named Plant Engineering 2003 Product of the Year Bronze Medal
Winner!
The G-Force™
Easy Arm™
is the newest addition to our family of Material Handling equipment
known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD's). We took our patented
G-Force™
technology and an industrial processor controlled drive system and
integrated them into an ergonomic articulating jib design.
Available in 150 pound
capacity with standard spans of 6, 8, and 10 feet.
This versatile design is ideal
for lifting applications that involve:
Reaching under obstructions / low
headroom applications - wire goes over a pulley on the beam so
you don't lose the headroom taken by the G-Force™
actuator
Reach around obstructions
Reach into work
cells/doorways
Rapid change in direction -
you don't have to move the weight of the actuator
