KR-LAD (Load Assist Device)

Product overview
- A load assist device (LAD) is a non-powered, 3-degree-of-freedom gravity compensation mechanism designed to support the weight of heavy objects attached to its end-effector, without the use of motors or external power sources.
- It is especially effective in assisting tasks that require the use of not only heavy tools but also long, rod-shaped equipment, such as those used in live-line maintenance.
- The Roll-Pitch-Roll-Pitch-Roll-Roll-Pitch structure allows the operator to move tools flexibly and perform tasks with ease.
- As a fully mechanical, non-powered device, it can be freely used in environments where electrical power is limited.
- Payload and reach can be customized at the time of delivery based on the intended application.
