Gorbel Manipulators

Intelligent Assist Devices

Gorbel Manipulators are specialized lifting devices designed to assist with ergonomic material handling in various industrial settings. As part of Gorbel’s ergonomic lifting solutions, these manipulators are engineered to reduce the physical strain on workers, improve workplace safety, and enhance overall productivity. These highly ergonomic lifting devices are part of a family of material handling equipment known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD’s). They use exclusive patented technology and an industrial processor controlled servo drive system to deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed. Their fusion of advanced technology and basic human guidance maximizes productivity while minimizing the risk of injury to the operator.

  • The perfect blend of high speed, productivity-boosting performance and ultimate precision placement in one lifting device.
  • Float mode enables the user with ultra-fine, hands on part control for precision placement of any load while significantly reducing the potential for costly damage to the part being lifted or surrounding equipment.
  • Input/output functionality with standard features that allow the intelligence of the G-Force® or Easy Arm® to elevate the intelligence of the total solution such as the anti-drop functionality for tooling control.
  • Virtual Limits provide a powerful error-proofing tool for any application and eliminate the possibility of product damage from impact.
