Manipulator arm BPL France

Brief description
The most advanced cable balancer is the Flexi-heffer. Useful for applications where loads can be lifted using a cable and/or can be handled flexibly or free-suspended. Ideal especially to the highly desirable added value generated by its user-friendliness and ergonomics. (For technical specifications: see table below)

Unique principle: ergonomic thanks to idle flexible arms
There is no other handling system with the same major advantage in day-to-day use as the BPL Flexi-heffer. What is unique are the idle flexible arms e.g there is no hoist drive inside or attached to the arms. The arms that carry the load are moved by the operator from ‘A’ to ‘B’. Movements, in particular horizontal, are extremely light because of the idle and flexible arms and the hoist drive which is mounted in the static column. Summarized the technology is sophisticated and yet surprisingly simple.

Speed and self-balancing: the second advantage
The idle arms allow easy manual movements in horizontal directions. Vertical movements are also very quickly. The Flexi-heffer is available for many years with the BPL control unit for self-balancing. This means that a series of different loads can be handled successively without the need for any weight adjustments. At the same time the vertical movements can be operated with the touch of a finger with acceleration and deceleration.
