Knight servo tractors use IAD servo technology to move and stop loads at programmed positions on an overhead rail while lifting, cutting operator push/pull forces.
Knight’s Servo Tractors are designed to accurately locate, push, tow, lift and position loads from an overhead rail system. Tractors significantly reduce the push/pull forces as well as the energy to sustain movements.
These Servo Tractors are equipped with Knight’s (IAD) Intelligent Assist Device Servo Technology, allowing them to provide controlled transfers of workloads with speed and precision. They can be programmed to automatically or manually move and stop the runway at intended locations with repeatable accuracy while lifting loads at the same time; thus eliminating unnecessary operator motions. They can also be programmed for assembly line speed synchronization.
The KST4000 Rack and Pinion Servo Tractor offers a continuous contact non-slip rack and pinion design. This continuous non-slip design allows for a more accurate positioning of the load. Movement of the Servo Tractor is controlled by a two speed pendant, and can be programmed for multiple positions.

The EPDA9600 Two-Speed Control Handle is a non-programmable handle. It is comprised of four switches to make up a (2) two-speed operation by simply compressing the thumb levers. Halfway is one speed, fully compressed is the second speed. Units come with a standard mounting flange. You will need to specify the flange adaptor tube size for your End Effector. Non-Programmable Handle.
The EPDTA9600 Two-Speed Control Handle w/ Trigger is a non-programmable handle. It is comprised of five switches to make up a (2) two-speed operation with Trigger Button by simply compressing the thumb levers. Halfway is one speed, fully compressed is the second speed. Units come with a standard mounting flange. You will need to specify the flange adaptor tube size for your End Effector.
The KCA1004, KCA1005 and KCA1006 Wireless Remotes by Enrange FLEX® are used to control Knight Servo Systems where wireless control is preferred. They are set-up and programmed to simulate the control functionality of a remote pendant control handle. Each wireless system consists of (1) one transmitter handset and (1) one receiver unit. Other standard-equipped accessories include a transmitter belt, spare transmitter power key, clear vinyl pouch and "AA" alkaline batteries.
The Wireless Remotes are available with up to (8) eight programmable operation/ function push-buttons (As Shown). Float, Lift, UP and DOWN are standard push-button configurations. Wireless signal distance is good up to 900 ft. [300m].
Full Compliance: All systems are fully compliant with the FCC Part-15 Rules, European Directives (Safety, EMC, R&TTE, Machinery), and Industry Canada Specifications (IC).
The KCA1033 is a Base Pendant Control for a Knight Servo Hoist. It permits the operator to control over-sized or cumbersome loads while maneuvering them into tight spaces. Control Handle is equipped with the same features as the Knight Inline Trigger Control Handle and is available in a Single or Two-Speed configuration that may be mounted on a separate cable, connected to a Knight (LMM) Load Monitoring Module or connected directly to a Servo Hoist box.
Knight Global's Operator Control Interface consists of (2) 4-Pin M12 female receptacles for I/O, (1) 6-Pin M12 receptacle for fixture handle, (1) 19-Pin male receptacle, Green/Blue lighted push buttons, lighted Red Run-Stop Push Button and (1) 9-Pin programming port.
(**Previously EBA1063)The KCA1071 Load Cell Fixture Handle is a programmable load sensing handle that can be mounted inline or remotely on the system. The fixture handle offers an inherent intuitive motion. The operator places force on the handles which creates a directional motion for the overall system which eliminates the need to push buttons. Up and Down motions can be initiated by grasping anywhere on the fixture handles.
Knight's KCA1071 Load Cell Handles are designed for rugged applications and high duty cycles.
The KLCA1000 incorporates the latest in design that includes our patented load cells with integral amplifier for noise immunity, connectors for operator interface and an improved clevis mount with cross pinning to eliminate the need for threaded rod, for connecting devices below the handle grip. The KLCA1000 is a programmable load sensing handle that mounts inline of the chain on the system. The inline handle offers an inherent intuitive motion.
The KLCA1000's actuation trigger prevents the system from any unintentional movement. The operator has to depress the trigger to initiate any up or down movement. The KLCA1000 is smaller in size and weight, which creates a more ergonomic operator condition. The trigger is a feather touch, so it requires very little force to actuate. New servo software code for the trigger enables the handle speed to change direction faster, requiring less force to move up and down.
The KLCA1000 Inline Control handle with Trigger has increased responsiveness, to meet the demands of high production rates with little effort.
The KLCA1000 handle top hat connects our 4mm KDSA1010 or 5mm KDSA1011 servo chain.
Fully programmable analog style load monitoring module that incorporates the latest in designs. The KLCA1002 includes our patented load cells with integral amplifier for noise immunity, packaging to protect lights buttons and connectors from operator interface, and improved clevis mount with cross pinning to eliminate the need for threaded rod, for connecting devices below the handle grip.
The LMM programmable load sensing module mounts inline of the chain on the system and is used when the operator is able to reach the run stop button when the hoist is in the up position. The KLCA1002 is recommended when an Inline Control Handle is not a practical solution.
