The Equipois zeroG arm is a patented technology that allows tools, parts, and other payloads up to 36 lbs. to be maneuvered as if weightless, but with full range of motion -- providing its users with a level of performance unmatched by other products such as crane-based systems, torque arms, and tool balancers.  Some of the top companies in the world have already implemented zeroG as a best practice because of its ability to boost productivity, reduce injuries, and improve quality.

Features and Benefits

Boost Productivity
zeroG allows workers to use tools for longer periods, with fewer work stoppages due to fatigue.  zeroG also lets workers use heavier, more powerful tools, which can significantly decrease task times and increase throughput.

Reduce Costs from Injury
The high cost of manufacturing-related injuries (nearly $80,000 in total costs for a shoulder injury) means that improving worker safety can have a dramatic effect on profitability.  Because operators are guiding, rather than lifting tools, the zeroG arm can virtually eliminate the most common causes of shoulder, arm and back injuries -- overexertion and repetitive stress.  Independent ergonomics testing has confirmed that zeroG reduces worker exertion levels below the fatigue threshold.

Improve Quality
By making even heavy tools effectively weightless, zeroG allows workers to use their fine motor skills on even the most physically demanding tasks -- translating into greater operator precision, fewer mistakes due to fatigue, and higher work quality.

Total Flexibility in Mounting
zeroG is deployable in virtually any manufacturing environment and can be adapted to both space-constrained and unique industrial settings, while retaining its remarkably small footprint.

The zeroG system is designed to attach easily to any stable structure, including standard carts, overhead rails, bench & table tops, and mobile stands.

Easy to Use
The technology is intuitive to control, which makes it simple to learn.  Only minimal training -- usually less than 30 minutes -- is required to master the use of a zeroG arm.

zeroG's uncomplicated design means that very little maintenance of the arm is required.  Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication are all that is needed to keep the zeroG arm running at peak performance.

Eliminate Energy Costs
zeroG is an entirely mechanical device and costs nothing to power.  Unlike conventional tool support products, the zeroG requires no electricity, air or hydraulics, making it much simpler to integrate and cheaper to operate.  The high cost of energy (made even worse by pneumatic leaks or other inefficiencies) means that zeroG could pay for itself in energy savings alone.

Award Winning
zeroG technology has won numerous industry awards, including the 2008 & 2009 National Ergonomics Conference Attendees' Choice Awards and finalist for Plant Engineering's Product of the Year for both 2008 & 2009.  It was also featured at the 2009 Progressive Manufacturing Awards.
