Handling loads as if they were weightless

Compared with traditional handling devices, such as hoists and pneumatic manipulators, Scaglia Indeva’s range of intelligent devices for handling provides a number of advantages including:

precise positioning of the load, as the devices enable accurate and rapid movements, whereas traditional handling devices over-travel, bounce and require lots of little corrective movements that reduce productivity;
intuitive control, ie the devices use ‘float mode’ control or ‘hands on manipulation’ without the need to actuate the control handle. This makes the most of the natural human ability to co-ordinate and control motion, thus allowing for a more intuitive control with more precise and quicker positioning of the load, especially when it has to be placed in a narrow target as gently as possible;
improved ergonomics and no effort required for operation. Thanks to microprocessor-based control, the system supplies energy to win inertia both during acceleration and braking;
speed. The Indeva units respond swiftly, yet smoothly to human touch, and the operator notices no time lapse between the machine’s sensing and its response; and
automatic and immediate compensation to weight. These handling devices can accommodate loads with different weights or loads that vary their weight during handling (eg when emptying out containers) with no stopping times at all for selecting new settings.

Indeva manipulators are light, compact, and provide smoother handling and greater visibility. The compactness of the rope electronic manipulators also allows installations even in areas with low ceilings, while their reduced tooling size and weight make them easier to operate and provide a shorter cycle time.
