Balancer
Moving loads with two fingers
With a servo-pneumatic balancer, employees in assembly and logistics can lift and move large masses with just two fingers. At the heart of the balancer is the YHBP drive solution from Festo - with automatic weight detection and Safety Performance Level d suitable for the automotive and packaging industries. The system automatically detects the weight of the load and adjusts the balancing force accordingly. It even does this when masses are added or removed while suspended. Intuitive control is provided by a pneumatic, ergonomic handle. With the safety version of the drive solution, a performance level d is achieved through dual-channel monitoring of the speed and energy cut-off. This always guarantees a safe state in the event of a component fault. Similarly, power failure or a sudden drop in pressure do not lead to any dangerous movement.
Depending on the version, the servo-pneumatic drive solution consists of a pneumatic standard cylinder with diameters of 80 to 200 mm, with position measuring system, optionally with safety switching device for safety applications, the VPCB balancer valve unit, a pneumatic handle and the CECC-D-BA balancer controller for logical control of the balancer. Balancer software with browser-based web visualization is pre-installed on the controller for commissioning and diagnostics. sw
