Description

Extension Servo Arms

Extension Servo Arms

Models: KSHEA / KSHAEA – 250 / 350 / 500 / 750-2401

The Knight KSHEA (overhead carriage mounted) and KSHAEA (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. The extension arm allows flexible movement outside a straight-line path, within a work cell or production station.

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.

The overhead carriage is not included with the product. Contact your FULLSHARP representative for details.

Configuration Guide

KSHAEA Floor Mounted – Working Through the Application

Selecting a Knight servo control system means settling a number of points before the configuration can be fixed. Contact the FULLSHARP engineering team for detailed advice and a configuration sheet.

  1. System configuration: the KSHAEA range comes with either an inline handle or a remote handle – choose one, they are not used together.
  2. Lifting capacity: include the weight of the fixture and the part when selecting the model.
  3. System type: patented dual safety chain (Safety Drop Stop).
  4. Coiled cable length:
    • Establish the rail height – from the underside of the rail to the load suspension point can be up to roughly 1.2 m depending on configuration.
    • Establish the pick and place heights – these determine the rail height directly.
    • Use an application drawing to calculate the stack-up and choose the right cable length.
  5. Trolley: the suspension point cannot be a single point. If a trolley is already in place, the EBD1127 adaptor plate is supplied free of charge.
  6. Up/down controls:
    • Inline handle: can the operator still reach it when the hoist is at its highest position?
    • The Run-Stop button must always be reachable. Account for any additional cables: LMM to OCI, and fixture handle to OCI.
  7. Plant power supply: the servo runs on 240 VAC single phase. If only 480 VAC is available, a 480/240 VAC transformer is required.
