Flagship features

  • Unique selling point: 100% pneumatic operation, designed specifically to eliminate health and safety problems associated with manual sanding
  • Key capability: Allows artisans to perform overhead surface preparation tasks ergonomically
  • Deployment configurations include Belly System and Telescoping Stand System for maximum maneuverability
  • Target application: Surface preparation (sanding) in industrial shop environments
  • Notable limitation: Not a traditional robotic arm with articulated joints or programmable control; it is a manually manipulated mechanical arm
  • The product page is a magazine document (ePAPER) from 2015, not a typical product listing. No detailed technical specs, pricing, or commercial terms are provided
