Articulating Servo Arms
Models: KSHCA / KSHFA – 500 / 1000 / 1500-2301
The Knight KSHCA (overhead carriage mounted) and KSHFA (floor mounted) are Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD) that let the operator reach beyond the area directly under the rail system and position a load precisely along the “Z” axis (vertical) with high speed and reliability.
Knight’s servo hoist technology becomes an extension of the operator’s natural motion, improving accuracy, responsiveness and repeatability – and with them overall safety, throughput and quality. The main benefits: wasted motion is eliminated, reaction time is shortened, and inertia effects with heavy loads are reduced.
