Medium Duty Articulating Pneumatic Arm

Knight’s AAA6000 Overhead and Floor Mounted Medium Duty Articulating Arm is a parallelogram arm used to lift, rotate, balance, and move product from conveyors, dunnage, assembly lines and more. AAA6000 Arms utilize twin cylinders to achieve greater lifting capacity, and therefore reduce operator fatigue by absorbing torque reaction and helping to lift and manipulate the product effortlessly.

The Overhead Mounted AAA6000 travels inside Knight’s RAD4110, RAD6110, or RAD7510 Aluminum Series Rail Systems on the “X”, “Y”, and “Z” axis and features a variety of control configurations.

Knight also offers fixed and 360 degree rotational AAA6000 Articulating Arms. These have a maximum reach (without Extension Boom) of 48 in. [1,219mm] and a maximum balance capacity of up to 430 lbs. [195kg] at 100 psi [6.8bar]. Capacities vary with reach.
