Pneumatic Jib Crane with Force-Sensing Handle

In processes that place parts into a fixture, pressing buttons to move up and down is often too slow and prone to overshooting. Workers have to nudge it back and forth to line it up, and while each attempt only takes a few seconds, it adds up to a lot of time over a shift.

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a force-sensing handle. A sensor reads the operator's hand force, and the pneumatic system raises or lowers in that exact direction. The load stays suspended, so a light push is all it takes to move the part into place.

Pneumatic Jib Crane with Force-Sensing Handle

A pneumatic jib crane with a force-sensing handle installed at a workstation in the factory.

Installed Equipment

Jib crane arm: rotates around the post over a large radius, covering the whole workstation.
Pneumatic lift-assist system: keeps the load suspended and responds instantly to changes in the operator's applied force.
Force-sensing handle: reads hand force through a sensor instead of using up/down push-buttons.
Balance controller: automatically holds the load steady when the operator lets go, with no drifting downward.
Load-bearing steel structure: post and arm sized for actual working loads, staying stable under continuous use.

Benefits for Your Factory

Follows the worker's hand

Lift up gently to raise it, press down gently to lower it — no need to remember which button does what.

Fast positioning

With the load suspended, aligning it into the fixture takes just one motion, saving time on every cycle.

Easy on the hands

The pneumatic system carries the lifting force, so repeated motion through a shift stays light.

Suitable Applications

Assembly stations that place parts into fixtures
Component, mold, and precision machining plants
Inspection and calibration areas
High-frequency material feeding stages

FullSharp surveys the workstation to measure the required reach, part weight, and available compressed air supply. We then finalize the post height, arm radius, and set the handle's sensitivity to match your workers' skill level.
