Ergonomics

Health and safety challenges associated with manual sanding include vibration exposure, awkward postures, and high grip forces. The EMMA™ Arm and SAM™ core module absorb all vibration generated by the sander(s), and allows the operator to manipulate the End-Effector from a comfortable seated or standing position via joystick controls or the handlebar. By lowering the operator injury rate (thus lowering costs of treatment and recovery), EMMA and SAM mitigate costs associated with drops in productivity due to operator turnover, impact on morale, and new operator training. Lastly, EMMA and SAM allow persons on light duty to continue performing surface preparation.
