ZG2 handle with load cell

Better load control and less force for the operator, with an ergonomic handle with a load cell.

Retrofit kit from ZG1 to ZG2 level, or handle and push-button box on an existing manipulator.

Ingersoll Rand ZG2 handle kit with up/down push-button box

The challenge

On a standard ZG1, moving the load up or down takes a direct force of about 10% of the load, which strains the operator and affects cycle time.

The solution

In balancing mode, a direct force of 2–3% of the load is enough. The handle has an integrated load cell, and the up/down push-button box mounts on the handle or on the manipulator. Two potentiometers adjust the up and down speeds on site.
