At the food manufacturer, approximately 200 transportation tasks were repeated in a concentrated half-day effort to prepare for shipping, involving the movement of 30kg sugar bags. The transportation tasks were carried out by moving the bags onto pallets with two people working together. Since the transportation tasks required two people, it took up manpower and made it impossible to perform other tasks during that time, resulting in poor work efficiency. Additionally, this was a labor-intensive task, and with the daily high volume of transportation, it placed a significant physical burden on employees, leading to a desire to reduce this burden. ■Solution and Effects To address the issues, we proposed our Balancer Wyman "MY-BS-105." We adopted a vacuum suction attachment to enable the transportation of 30kg sugar bags without physical strain on the body. Furthermore, we designed it as a cart that allows for fine adjustments in position within the factory. As a result, the physical burden on employees was reduced, and they were able to perform the tasks alone, leading to improved work efficiency. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.

At the parts manufacturer, there was a task involving handling a cleaning machine that could weigh up to 70 kg when parts were placed into it. Since the parts were being manually transported to the cleaning machine, work efficiency was poor, and it placed a burden on employees. ■Solution and Effects To solve the problem, we proposed our Wyman "MY-BS-104." To improve work efficiency and ensure a spacious workspace, we suggested a mobile cart-type Wyman. As a result, it became usable anywhere in the factory, expanding the work area. Tasks that previously took half a day for cleaning saw improved efficiency, allowing them to be completed in half the time. Additionally, the manpower required for transportation was reduced to half of what it used to be, leading to a decrease in work burden. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.

The electric balancer "Wyman" not only lifts heavy workpieces but also allows you to maintain the desired posture in the air and control the placement posture. Additionally, it is possible to perform tasks such as attaching parts while transferring. Tasks that previously required two or more people due to the weight of the materials can now be safely performed by one person. This balancer offers proposals for labor-saving and manpower-reducing solutions at appropriate costs for those facing issues with robot automation, maintenance, and investment effectiveness. ■ Features - A wide variety of attachments tailored to the workpiece - Extensive track record in various factories - Energy-efficient design of the drive mechanism with good machine efficiency * For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.

Wyman can not only lift heavy objects but also maintain them in the desired position in the air and control the placement posture. Additionally, it is possible to perform auxiliary tasks such as part installation during the transfer process. Furthermore, transfer operations that typically require two or more people using a crane can be safely conducted by one person. Even in cases where automation through robots is difficult due to issues like investment returns or small-lot, diverse production, the introduction of Wyman can contribute to labor-saving and workforce reduction plans at appropriate costs. By using Wyman, tasks that previously required multiple people can now be performed efficiently, economically, and safely by one person. Features: - Transfer operations for heavy objects that are difficult for one or two people to handle - Transfer operations for heavy objects that are sensitive to surface scratches, such as rolled materials - Tasks that require changing the direction of heavy objects - Tasks that are difficult for people to directly contact - Tasks that require the maintenance of safety and hygiene *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.

Type B has the advantage of allowing workers to take a natural working position and a wide working range. It is possible to select options that perfectly fit diverse load needs. If you have concerns such as wanting to introduce robots but the costs are high, or workers suffering from back pain, we can solve these issues with Balancer Wyman. We support your manufacturing needs. 【Features】 ○ The reduction gear is composed entirely of spur gears, resulting in an energy-efficient design with good mechanical efficiency. ○ Wyman uses electric motors in all models, eliminating issues seen in air cylinder or hydraulic cylinder systems, such as unstable stopping in the lifting direction or the need to adjust load balance with each change in load. This allows for stable variable speed operation from low to high speeds using a control lever. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

It is ideal for high-frequency tasks, work in environments with a lot of dust, and sites that require quietness. The controllability has also significantly improved. Safety measures are thorough, including smooth operation unique to servo motors, prohibition of overwork through torque limit functions, and emergency stops in case of disconnection of the control signal line.

We will custom-make attachments that can be used in various work environments to match the weight of the target heavy objects. Safe, accurate, easy to use, and making operations easier. With various attachments tailored to the target work, we strongly support the Wyman series. ◆ Grasping Target work: boxes, rolled materials, containers, ring materials, block-shaped items, round bars, and various irregularly shaped clamps. ◆ Scooping Target work: rolled materials, boxes, trays, and various irregularly shaped items for hooking and scooping operations. ◆ Suction Target work: cardboard boxes, bags, glass plates, wooden boards, iron plates, and other sheet materials. Vacuum suction for various irregularly shaped items. ◆ Rotating Target work: Arm types B and E can accommodate overhanging loads (eccentric loads), allowing for various working postures. As a result, rotation operations in various directions and angles are possible within the allowable range of eccentric loads. ◆ Features - A wide variety of attachments tailored to the work. - Extensive track record in various factories. * For details, please contact us or download the PDF.

◆Stable operability with a horizontal lever. ◆Easy positioning. ◆The arm rises and falls by twisting the handle, allowing for stepless speed variation based on the twist angle. ◆Horizontal movement is operated by manually pushing and pulling. The handle is mounted horizontally in relation to the vertical direction, preventing the lever from moving during the lifting and lowering operation. ◆No resonance phenomenon occurs during vertical and horizontal movements while handling. ◆All operations can be safely performed with one hand. ◆Operability remains consistent even with changes in weight. ◆Fine speed adjustments are possible with an electric system.

You will be able to perform tasks that previously required multiple people efficiently, economically, and safely by yourself. When a load is suspended safely under overload conditions, it will balance and stop or cease to rise due to torque control. In the event of a disconnection in the control power line or signal line, it will enter an emergency stop. If there are no lift or lower commands for a certain period due to the timer circuit, it will engage the mechanical brake and stop supplying power to the motor, entering a standby state. Additionally, it will automatically reset when an operational command is given.

We have a full range of Wyman models up to the 500 type. There is also a "cart" version with casters attached to a base weighing less than 1200 kg. If frequent leveling is required, it is necessary to select a support such as a cross cart with a lower mass.
