About Moon Lifter
An electric balancer that lifts a workpiece of 10 to 2000 kg and moves it with little strength. Operates at AC 100 to 110 V or AC 200 to 240 V with load sensor and servo motor. It supports raising and lowering of workpiece while constantly detecting the force and position. The Moon Lifter balances the weight of objects by a built-in servo motor in order to handle a heavy object as if its weight is Zero. You can precisely set a heavy objet with no effort, and moreover it doesn’t make any vibration. The chain is made out of copper/electroless nickel plating and the breaking load is 2 t. The end of chain has an eye hook shape as standard, however several different pieces of lifting equipment can be set for different requirements. The lifting range supports up to 4 m. There is also a dustproof type that is often requested in the field such as casting, machining, etc.
Easy installation; just plug into the outlet
All you need is a power supply of AC 100 to 110 V or AC 200 to 240 V!! No pneumatic supply or piping is required.
Safety functions
You can tune upper / lower limit, speed, safety settings, etc. that suit the user.
It is pre-installed with speed limit, position limit, and braking function in case of emergency stop.
Speed limit and position limit can be set during lifting and lowering respectively.
When approaching a predetermined position, the speed will be limited and will decelerate. The chain is held by the brake when the power is off or stopped during emergency. Prevents the workpiece from falling.
Operability
You can hold a workpiece directly with your both hands and work with light force.
Since it senses human force and assists, Moon Lifter has achieved stress-free and smooth movement.
The main unit of the lightweight type weighs 8.5 kg. A workpiece weight up to 60 kg can be handled.
As the total weight of the main unit and a workpiece is light, smooth lateral movements are possible even when the main unit and a workpiece are suspended from a rail.
Even if a workpiece weight changes each time, Moon Lifter rebalances with a single button operation. Anyone can handle it at ease.
No button operations are required on the controller when the assist starts/ends.
An important workpiece can be handled with both hands at all time, without letting go of it.
Not only the work efficiency significantly improves, but also your worries of incorrect button operations will disappear.
Precision
Balance control of the workpiece by measuring the tension and speed of the chain. Supports precise assembly regardless of the weight of the work.
Image and operation procedures
Full range of option
External I/O option
Make your work safer and more comfortable!
Safety can be enhanced by interlocking with area sensors, patrol lamps, and workpiece chucking signals.
Coordinated motion with robots
Support small-size robots using electric balancer, able to lift up heavier weight! (No need for bigger size robot)
Parallel operation option
Balance movements are possible no matter where you hold the workpiece while maintaining it level!
