MATERIAL HANDLING



 
 
Today’s Fastest, Most Precise Lifting System

Stanley’s iLift ™ , the most advanced lifting and balancing system available, allows operators to manipulate loads with greater speed and precision than ever before. By simply grasping the slide handle or the load itself and gently applying force in the desired direction, the operator can manipulate payloads as if they weighed ounces.

Operators can meet productivity goals while reducing ergonomic strain, with programmable virtual limits, user-selectable operating profiles, and vertical speeds up to 4.9 ft/sec. Offering a blend of power assist and hands-on (“float mode”) load positioning, the iLift combines computerized control with human manipulation.




The iLift maximizes the capability of end effectors —with a programmable hub featuring internal logic for control of end effector functions via air cylinders, interlocks, proximity switches, and a locally mounted E-Stop.

Allowing easy installation on existing or new rail configurations, quick programmability, and semi-automation, the iLift is the highest performing lift assist available today.

Flexible Configurations

The iLift integrated with the iTrolley system for powered, multi-axis movement. Shown operating in Float Mode.
 
Trolley or rail applications
The iLift ™ mounts to most standard trolleys and rail profiles and allows seamless end effector interface. It can also be configured with the Cobotics iTrolley ™ to create multi-axis Intelligent Assist Device (IAD) systems.

Interface with rigid arm configurations
For added versatility, the iLift can also be configured to provide vertical lift for rigid arm systems.

Benefits

Reduced strain
Low operator force will move heavy loads with ease when using the slide handle.

Eliminates vertical overtravel
The responsive slide handle allows stopping precisely in the intended position, with no noticeable delay.

Greater productivity
Faster cycle times are achieved with the system’s speed, float mode, and semi-automation features, allowing operators to accomplish more in a shorter period of time. The iLift offers continuous, variable-speed lift control with a maximum speed up to 5 times faster than speeds offered by standard hoists.

Semi-automation
Commands such as “return to home” allow automation of some load movements, freeing operators to per-form secondary tasks.

Features

The iLift is available with Pendant (left) or Slide Handle
 
Slide or Pendant Handle
Choose from two handles for direct or proportional push-button control.

Float Mode
Featuring the most advanced patented float mode available, the iLift allows:
  • Hands-on ("float mode") fine tuning of load position
  • Movement of loads without the need to push buttons from the central control position - shaving seconds from cycle times

Programmable Hub with RS232 interface
As the high-speed communication link and main operator interface, the Hub allows you to:
  • Program the system using a laptop computer - eliminating the need to configure hoses or valves
  • Program in and switch between operator preferences for speed, acceleration, and sensitivity
  • Configure PLC type end effector functions with a simple interface



Virtual limits
Easily programmable virtual limits prevent load damage and enhance productivity by constraining up/down movement.

Access to system information
Valuable feature for analyzing real-time conditions of the IAD system. Examples include:
  • Maintenance - tracking preventative maintenance schedules
  • Error-proofing - comparing actual load weight against an expected value
  • Optional Ethernet connection - allows communication with user plant information systems

Dump mode
Permits load dumping without drift.

Self-contained unit
The iLift is completely self-contained, with on-board controls requiring only 120 V AC power.
