zeroG Pick-n-Place

Dear Customer,

We would like to thank you for your interest in our zeroG® technology and using our product as a lift assist device. Below are some details of how we are able to use our zeroG arm technology to lift up (pick) and put down (place) objects without any need for manual lifting, which can very often lead to serious injury.

Key Requirements

  • ZeroG Arm
    • 16" Max Vertical Dynamic Travel - Per zeroG arm Single Link Arm
    • 34" Max Horizontal Dynamic Travel - Per zeroG Single Link Arm + Static Link
    • 42lb Max Lifting Capacity - Per zeroG Arm Single Link Arm
  • Mounting Solution
    • Mobile Stand With Casters Fit For Concrete Surfaces - Per Quad Stand
    • 36" Max Vertical Height Adjustment - Per Quad Stand
    • Powered Winch or Manual Winch
  • End Effector and Dock
    • Fit for purpose end effector used to engage payload. (Custom)

 

Proposed Solution

Lifting Process Steps

  • Assumed Start Position: Arm unladen and extended up to the top physical stop, and the zeroG arm lift setting adjusted to the weight of the payload.
  1. Locate: Hand move equipment via mobile cart and locate end-effector near payload.
  2. Align Z: Adjust automatic winch so that the end effector is vertically lined up with paload where it will be picked up.
  3. Engage: Engage end-effector with payload. (Payload not yet lifted)
  4. Pick: Adjust automatic winch Z-Up until the zeroG arm is level (And therefore payload is lifted and in "zeroG"
  5. Move: Hand move equipment (and payload) via mobile cart and dynamic range of zeroG arm to desired "place" location.
  6. Place: Adjust automatic Z-Down until zeroG arm is fully in up position and reaches the top physical stops of the arm. (Payload not longer being lifted)
  7. Disengage: Disengage end-effector with payload (Now back to start position)

 

Note: The secure dock can be used to lock the arm in place wherever desired. Here is example video of its use.

Proposed Bill of Materials Per System

  • One (1) Single Link zeroG4 + Static Link Arm (Link)
  • One (1) Modified Quad Stand with Atomatic Winch (Link)
  • One (1) 2-Axis Preset Leveling Block (Link)
  • One (1) Customized End-Effector
  • Two (2) Secure Dock Assemblies (Link)
 
 
Cost Breakdown: For Budgetary Purposes Only
  • Single Link zeroG Arm + Static Link: $5,735
  • Quad Stand with z-Axis: Manual - $2,550; Powered - $3,550
  • 2-Axis Preset Leveling Block: $975
  • Secure Dock: $450
  • Labor & Materials for customized End-Effector TBD

The other major zeroG application categories are:

  • Grinding
  • Riveting
  • Drilling
  • Fastening
  • Sanding

Below we will demonstrate how zeroG technology can help your operation in each of these areas.

 

 
 

Grinding

Grinding is one of the most common and compelling applications of zeroG® equipment. With a zeroG® arm, operators can use a grinder longer without experiencing fatigue and zeroG® even lets you use heavier, more powerful grinders safely, reducing cycle time. With zeroG®, cables and hoses are festooned along the arm to prevent damage. Also, tools are no longer dropped when not in use and so repair costs are reduced. Since tools can be held in an optimal position, grinding disc usage can be reduced – often by 30-40% – since more of the pad can be used with proper pressure.

Combining these effects, customers can see costs savings of US$500 to US$1,000 per year or more in material savings alone and many users report labor reduction or productivity improvements of up to 50% through the use of zeroG®.
