X-ARM – «3rd hand»-type passive exoskeleton developed for work with hand guided tools, weighing from 2 to 40 kg.

It allows to unload the locomotor system of the operator during the work with hand tools by the way of redistributing the tool weight through the legs exoskeleton design.

Exoskeleton X-Arm can be used with a wide variety of tools (perforator, angle grinder, drill, etc.) and equipped with a battery, as well.

It allows to improve efficiency and speed of technological operations while removing the load from the back and arms.

X-Arm reduces the equipment weight and allows to speed up repairs. It significantly reduces the equipment downtime and keeps the costs down.

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS:

Weight

Up to 17 kg (depending on configuration)

Operator endurance increase

Experiments confirm operator endurance increase up to 91% in static positon and up to 38% in motion

Operator efficiency improving

Proven operator productivity improvement by 80% and higher depending on the technological operation

Material

Exoskeleton is made of lightweight and durable aluminum-base alloy (duraluminum) and durable fabrics

Fields of application: metal industry, oil and gas industry, construction, shipbuilding, repair works

EXORISE X-ARM ADVANTAGES:
National production

Availability for Russian market (sanction restrictions and possible barriers because of potential “double-purpose” position assignment neutralization)

Short payback period

Example: when dismantling turbine unit body at PJSC MMK – estimated payback period for 1 exoskeleton – 1 working day

New standards

Efficiency improvement, fatigue reduction

Tool clamp

Cross functional clamp for a wide range of tools

Affordability

Price affordability as compared to analogues

Economical effectiveness

Under the testing conducted on the basis of PJSC MMK the economical effectiveness of «3rd HAND»-type exoskeleton was confirmed
