Developed by Japan-based company ATOUN, Model Y is an exoskeleton that alleviates the burden of repetitive manual labour.
Constructed with a carbon fibre frame, the 9.9 lbs exoskeleton is fitted with motors and sensors to assist the user in lifting and lowering heavy loads.
When lifting a load, assist mode pulls the body up as if “stretching the waist” and brake mode supports the body as if “putting on the brakes” when lowering a load. The modes are automatically switched according to the user’s movement, negating the need for manual operation of controls. The max assist force is 10kgf.
With waterproof and dustproof properties, ATOUN Model Y can be used outdoors and in temperatures of 0 – 40℃.
The construction, agriculture and manufacturing industry, as well as professions such as airport baggage handlers and elderly care workers, utilize ATOUN Model Y to improve both efficiency and safety.
To maintain ATOUN Model Y, a service program is offered. The services include inspection of the exterior and functions, cleaning of parts, internal inspection through disassembling drive parts, exchanging of gears inside movable parts, greasing of drive parts, and updating software.
