Non-tempered glass doesn't forgive a bad grip.

In automotive assembly, workers were manually positioning large glass panels by hand — fragile material, tight placement tolerances, and real injury risk built into every cycle. We engineered this custom vacuum grip and pitch tool to take that risk off the floor.

- Floating Handle Design: Isolates operator motion from the load, keeping the glass steady while the operator guides it precisely into position.
- Momentary Pitch Control: Tilts the panel to the exact seating angle without repositioning the hoist — one hand, one motion.
- Float Mode: Allows micro-adjustments in any direction for final placement of delicate glass without fighting the system.
- Gripper Safety Circuit: Custom-engineered anti-drop protection prevents the panel from releasing mid-air — even with non-tempered glass this fragile.
- Gorbel Easy Arm Integration: Suspends the tool with full articulating reach, giving operators fatigue-free control across the assembly station.

Power distribution modules are critical, high-value electrical components, but at 140 lbs., they can be a major physical burden to install. This custom lift assist transforms a high-risk installation into a controlled, ergonomic process.

Integrated with a Gorbel Easy Arm and G-Force Smart Hoist, we engineered this custom tool for total protection:

- UHMW Alignment Guides: Ensures the module seats perfectly every time.
- Proportional Control: Smooth up/down movement for fragile components.
- Interlocking Safety: Common-button grip prevents unintentional part release.
- OLED Status Display: Real-time feedback directly on the operator handle.

95 lbs. Zero effort. Check out this Triple Articulated Manipulator Arm in action.

Designed and built in-house, this custom lifting device handles heavy steel locator pins with 330° of rotation at every joint. The unique jaw design allows the operator to rotate the pin while gripped—total maneuverability.
