1 Active Lifting Equipment - 34 York Street, Wingfield, SA 5013 Australia Phone: enquiries@activelifting.com.au Introducing...The Easy Arm Intelligent Lifting Arm Description The newest addition to the Gorbel family of Intelligent Assist Device History of the Easy Arm Evolution G-Force Intelligent Lifting Device released 1999 by Gorbel Plant Engineering s Product of the Year in 2000 Product of the Year Finalist in 2002 (BXi unit) Gorbel realised they needed: - a low headroom solution - a design to reach in/reach around - lower cost crane for local handling ** Easy Arm concept introduced at Feb US Promat show. Generated a lot of excitement!

3 The Brains of a G-Force, The Body of a Jib The Easy Arm combines the precision and speed of the G-Force with the flexibility and maneuverability of an articulating arm. This combination of precision and flexibility results in an easy to move, cost effective lifting solution that operators will love to use. Specifications Capacity 70 kg (load & tooling) Maximum Lifting Speed 38 mpm for a 70 kg load; 45 MPM UNLOADED Standard Span 1.8M and 2.4M and 3M Standard height Under Hook 1.8M and 2.4M Degree of Rotation Primary Arm = 370 on all spans. 1.8M span, Secondary Arm = M and 3M span, Secondary Arm = 315 Duty Cycle H5 continuous duty 240 V, single phase, 50Hz G-Force Model BX-based unit, optimized for a cantilevered jib arm Arm pivots in two places on the boom Easier access for hard to reach areas Light weight arm/actuator Ease of movement pivot Tension adjusted at pivot points Control and ease of rotation G-Force servo-power and software to Precision movement Speed (45mpm)

4 control lifting device Levelling adjustment on primary arm Wire rope over pulleys Easy levelling/shimming Low headroom Optimised 4-bolt base plate requires no foundation Adjustable upper and lower limits Float mode (optional) -- "hands on part" No foundation costs Low installation costs Portability Helps operators pinpoint target pick/place heights Allows operators to easily orient & manipulate the load Comes assembled in a box Ease of installation Added protection during shipment Safety : Anti-recoil Technology doesn t recoil with sudden change in load Power loss protection locks into place in the event of a power loss Capacity overload protection warning lights indicate when the load exceeds its rated capacity Operator present switch a safety interlock that prevents movement unless initiated by the operator Non-defeatable

5 Some Areas of Use Applications Machining applications metalworking Lightweight assembly applications Automotive / related industries Warehousing Parcels Manufacturing with precision handling Reaching under obstructions/ low headroom applications-wire goes over a pulley on the beam so you don't lose the headroom taken by the G-Force actuator. Reach around obstructions Reach into work cells/doorways Rapid change in direction - you don't have to move the weight of the actuator Application Tips 1. Avoid Long Spans Longer Spans = Harder to move - selecting an unnecessarily long span will cause handling problems - The rule here is "Less is More, Don't Over Crane" 2. Avoid High Hook Heights Higher Hook Height = Less Control of the Load - choose the shortest Height Under Hook possible to avoid excessive pendulum effect.
