FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp built a jib crane from 5T rail rated 200 kg to cover a working radius wider than arm's reach, with a Knight Global air balancer on the trolley. The balancer counterbalances the load with compressed air and holds it steady at any height, so parts are set down exactly on target without shaking or bumping.

A workstation had to pick up and set down parts many times a day, and each time it had to land in exactly the right spot before the operator could let go. Lifting by hand caused shaking, placement often bumped the target, and operators' shoulders tired after a few hours. The area to be covered was also wider than arm's reach.

FullSharp built a jib crane from a 5T rail (200 kg rated) to cover the full working radius, combined with a Knight Global air balancer mounted on the trolley. The air balancer counterbalances the load's weight with compressed air, so the load stays still at any height. The operator only needs to push lightly for the load to follow.

Installed Equipment

  • 5T rail rotating arm: a beam made from 5T steel rail, rated at 200 kg, rotating around the post to cover the working area.
  • Knight Global air balancer: counterbalances the load using compressed air, keeping it suspended stably at any height.
  • Control handle: responds instantly when lifting or lowering, operated with one hand.
  • Trolley on the arm: runs smoothly along the arm to bring the suspension point to the exact pickup and placement spot.
  • Air filter and pressure regulator: supplies clean, pressure-stabilized air so the air balancer holds the load evenly.

Benefits for Your Factory

Load feels weightless

The air balancer offsets the load's weight, so the operator only guides direction.

Accurate positioning

The load stays still at any height, so it lands in the target spot without overshooting.

Saves energy all shift

Repeated motion stays light, easing strain on shoulders and lower back.

Frequently asked questions

How does an air balancer improve placement accuracy?

It holds the load suspended and stable at any height and responds instantly to the handle, so the operator positions parts precisely instead of fighting the weight.

What if the work area is wider than arm's reach?

The jib arm rotates around the post and covers the full working radius, so parts are picked and placed anywhere within that circle.

Is the air balancer controlled with one hand?

Yes. The control handle lifts and lowers with one hand and responds instantly, leaving the other hand free to guide the part into its exact position.
