In balance from MOVEster

SWF Krantechnik has added the MOVEster air balancer to its product range.

The assistance device, designed to increase efficiency and improve ergonomics in industrial environments, helps move loads up to 350 kg. Depending on the bearing load, MOVEster can reach lifting heights of up to 3 m. Combined with the company's aluminium crane system LIGHTster, the product is suited to workstations, said the manufacturer.

The air balancer enables quick and smooth material flow, said the company. Its balancing function means a minimal force of 15 to 35 N is required to move loads in assembly and joining processes.

If the air pressure drops there will be no sudden lowering of the load. The technology also eliminates overloading. 'Floating' loads can be safely unloaded should the air pressure drop, added the company.
