Indeva Liftronic® Easy Intelligent Assist Device (IAD)

In the context of global manufacturing transitioning from traditional automation (Industry 3.0) to intelligent, interactive systems (Industry 4.0), lifting devices are no longer limited to simple pick-and-place operations.
In reality, conventional pneumatic lifters are increasingly revealing their limitations, including response latency, energy inefficiency, and a lack of flexibility when handling continuously varying loads.

Driven by these challenges, the Indeva Liftronic® Easy Intelligent Assist Device (IAD) was researched and developed.

As part of the renowned Scaglia INDEVA Group's ecosystem, Liftronic® Easy is not merely a lifting aid—it can be considered a true “extension of the human body” (human extender). Equipped with advanced electronic intelligence, the system is capable of sensing and responding instantly to the operator’s intent, delivering unmatched smoothness and absolute precision that pneumatic systems can never achieve.

Key Benefits of Liftronic® Easy

Liftronic® Easy is not just a lifter; it is an intelligent assist device (IAD) designed to eliminate all barriers between human intention and object weight. Its outstanding features include:

True Zero-Gravity Technology

Unlike push-button electric hoists or pneumatic manipulators with significant response delays, Liftronic® Easy uses an ultra-sensitive electronic control system.
The device reacts instantly to the operator’s applied force, making loads of hundreds of kilograms feel virtually weightless. You can move objects up, down, or stop at any point with millimetre-level accuracy—naturally, as if moving your own arm.

Automatic Load Detection & Balancing (Auto-Weight Sensing)

This is Indeva’s most groundbreaking feature. Liftronic® Easy requires no manual setup or mode switching when handling loads of different weights.
Whether lifting a 10 kg object or immediately switching to a 300 kg load, the microprocessor automatically detects the weight and establishes perfect balance in real time. This eliminates manual adjustments, saves time, and ensures maximum safety.

Exceptional Operational Productivity

Liftronic® Easy achieves lifting speeds of up to 0.6 m/s, significantly faster than traditional electric hoists.
Its smooth motion dramatically shortens cycle time, directly boosting production-line productivity without causing operator stress or fatigue.

Ergonomic Design Focused on Human Protection

Indeva’s highest priority is eliminating work-related musculoskeletal and spinal disorders. Liftronic® Easy reduces physical effort to nearly zero.
The force-sensing handle prevents sudden force impacts on the operator’s body, allowing workers to maintain health and alertness throughout the entire shift.

Energy Efficiency & Lower Operating Costs

Liftronic® Easy operates entirely on electricity (110/230 V) with extremely low energy consumption.
It is a much greener solution compared to pneumatic systems that require large air compressors and frequently suffer from air leaks, which waste energy and increase operating costs.

Highly Flexible Modular Design

The gripping system of Liftronic® Easy is modular, allowing easy interchange between hooks, mechanical grippers, or vacuum tools—adapting to a wide variety of products within the same factory.

Liftronic® Easy – Technical Specifications

The strength of Liftronic® Easy lies in its sophisticated digital control system, enabling ultra-fast and ultra-precise lifting operations.

  • Custom grippers tailored to specific product geometries

• Control interface: Force-sensing handle that allows directional control using only light hand pressure
• Integrated safety features: Electronic brake automatically activates in the event of power failure or system fault, holding the load securely in a safe position

Competitive Advantages of Liftronic® Easy

In a crowded lifting-equipment market, Liftronic® Easy stands out thanks to proprietary technologies that conventional systems cannot replicate:

Digital Technology (Electronic vs. Pneumatic)

The key difference lies in the control system.
While pneumatic manipulators inherently suffer from response delays due to air compressibility, Liftronic® Easy uses electronic actuation with an intelligent microprocessor. This enables instant reaction to every operator movement, delivering millimetre-level precision—critical for delicate assembly operations.

“Human Extender” Philosophy

Indeva does not merely build machines—it creates interactive systems.
Liftronic® Easy is designed as a Human Extender, allowing operators to control heavy loads intuitively through a force-sensing handle. The boundary between human strength and machine power disappears, making heavy-load handling as natural as moving with your own hands.

Instant Adaptation to Any Load

Electric hoists and pneumatic systems require stopping and resetting when the load weight changes.
With Liftronic® Easy, you can lift a 5 kg box and immediately lift a 200 kg engine block without pressing a single setup button. The system automatically calculates and compensates for weight in real time, ensuring uninterrupted and safe production flow.

Italian Engineering Heritage (Scaglia INDEVA)

With over 40 years of experience and as the world’s first manufacturer to introduce Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD) in 1970, Indeva (Italy) is a benchmark of quality and durability.
Every Liftronic® Easy unit meets the highest European safety standards, ensuring reliable operation for decades.

How to Operate the Liftronic® Easy Intelligent Lifter

One of the reasons Liftronic® Easy is globally preferred is its operational simplicity. No advanced technical expertise is required—just follow these basic steps:

Step 1: System Startup

Connect the device to the power supply (110/230 V). Upon startup, the microprocessor performs a self-diagnosis. Within seconds, the system is ready in standby mode with full reliability.

Step 2: Approach the Load Using the Force-Sensing Handle

Instead of heavy mechanical levers, simply hold the ultra-sensitive force-sensing handle. Even the smallest hand movement is detected and instantly transmitted to the central controller.

Step 3: Lift and Activate Auto-Balancing

As soon as the load leaves the surface, Liftronic® Easy calculates the actual weight in real time. No load selection is required—the system immediately establishes a Zero-Gravity balance, whether the load weighs 5 kg or 300 kg.

Step 4: Move and Position with Precision

The load now feels like a natural extension of your arm. You can lift, lower, or move horizontally at speeds up to 0.6 m/s. Real-time electronic feedback eliminates pneumatic lag or rebound, allowing millimetre-precise placement.

Step 5: Release and Safely Complete the Cycle

Once the load is positioned correctly, simply activate the release button on the handle. The intelligent safety system ensures the gripper only releases when the load is stable, eliminating drop risks caused by human error.
