LIFT FUNCTIONALITY
Standard Operation:
The Gorbel® G-Force® BX ILD is a servomotor driven, high speed, ergonomic materials
handling device. When the device is in the standard operational mode, the sliding handle of the hand controller
commands the z-axis direction and speed of the lift (
reference Diagram A
). The handle has a center neutral position
and can slide up and down to provide up and down speed commands to the control system. The further the handle is
displaced from the neutral position, the faster the servo movement to lift or lower the load. The operator lifts or
lowers the load by grasping the handle and moving it up or down as it it were an extension of the operator's arm. The
lift moves slightly slower when a heavy load is lifted, thereby giving the operator some feel for the weight of the load
and thus reducing inertial forces. When depressed, the operator present switch in the handle activates the
servomotor (
reference Diagram A
). Depressing the operator present switch also releases an electrically operated
mechanical failsafe holding brake in the motor.
Float Mode (System Option):
This mode is initiated by
simply pressing the Float Mode Enable button on the hand
controller. In this mode, the operator can simply handle the
load directly with either one or two hands and cause the
load to raise or lower by applying either an upward or
downward force on the load. This mode overrides the need
to depress the operator present switch. The greater the
force applied, the faster the load will move. There is a
standard setting in the controls that safely limits the
maximum speed of travel in Float Mode. Actuating the
operator present switch while in Float Mode will cause the
unit to exit float. While in Float Mode, the load cannot be
increased or decreased because this may cause unwanted
motion. Float Mode must be reinitiated each time the
weight of the live load is changed. The Float Mode enable
button is located on the face of the handle (
reference
Diagram B
).
Emergency Stop Button:
When depressed, the
Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button cuts off all power to the
Controls, and sets the mechanical fail-safe brake. The E-
Stop button is located on the face of the handle (
reference
Diagram B
). The G-Force® can’t operate until the E-Stop
has been reset.
