The Intelift control module is a compact, integral element of the balancer itself. No cumbersome remote add-ons are necessary. It provides simple programming of functions with a keypad and indicator lights, and confirms settings with an easy-to-read display window. The closed loop feedback system delivers responsive motion control and a wide range of application options for vehicle assembly, general industry, beverage and warehouse as well as textile and electronics industries worldwide.
Self-balance features enables intuitive speed control for different weights. Float mode allows the float capability through out the entire length of travel by maintaining constant pressure in the balancer using a pressure sensor. Position control through the Dump mode feature is achieved with closed loop feedback system. Smart drop feature allows lowering of the load until only the weight of the end effector is supported, reducing the sequence of operations. Part present feature enables clamping of parts in poor visibility. When used with vacuum cup devices, reduces air consumption and noise level. Up control disable feature ensures parts are securely clamped before permitting loads to be lifted. The 3 speed select feature further enhances the flexibility and productivity of the Intelift system.
The unique design of the control handle provides multi functional capabilities, reducing the sequence of operations and cycle time. The control handle is available in two styles: (1) Pendant control handle , or (2) Force Sensing control handle (no up/down buttons)
Intelift air balancers combine the industry's finest, thoroughly proven mechanical balancing technology with the intelligence of precise, reliable electronic controls. This innovative combination is the first in a new series of intelligent lifting systems, and provides operators with a safe, ergonomically beneficial, and highly flexible solution that can enhance productivity and cost savings. The Intelift unit covers a capacity range of 150 lbs (68 kg) to 1,000 lbs (454 kg), with durability suited for 100 percent duty cycle and vertical speed capability of 300 ft per minute.
A complete range of end effectors can be used with Intelift controls for greater efficiency, from the simplest to the most complex device. The Intelift unit incorporates a fully grounded, fault-protected electrical system, with fused circuits and memory that automatically reinstates function selections following a power interruption. In every respect, the Ingersoll-Rand Intelift air balancer is an essential solution for a more productive workplace, empowering individuals to work comfortably and effectively, significantly contributing to product and process quality.
