Selecting the best tool balancer arm isn’t one-size-fits-all — it depends on your tools, workspace layout, and production needs. At 3ARM®, we’ve developed a range of tool balancers that align precision, flexibility, and ergonomic safety.
Series Overview: From Simple to Advanced
Let’s break down the most popular series and their best-fit applications:
Series 0 & Series 1 – Essentials
Ideal for basic tooling needs:
- Series 0: A single tilting arm perfect for simple, repetitive tasks.
- Series 1: Offers versatile tilting and headmember compatibility across various tools — great for general industry environments.
Series 2 – Extended Reach & Rotation
With 360° rotation on each arm and dual arm lengths, Series 2 is perfect for workstations that demand extended reach without sacrificing control.
Series 3 – Universal Workhorse
The most popular model, Series 3 combines turning and tilting brakes, allowing operators to lock positions on each axis for greater precision and safety.
Series 4 – Full-Freedom Movement
Featuring completely free movement up, down, and sideways, Series 4 arms are engineered for challenging work angles and complex assembly environments.
📏 Series 6 & Series 7 – Heavy-Duty Performance
From compact precision movements to heavy-duty tool handling with brake locking systems, these arms support larger tools and demanding applications — such as large drills and torque equipment.
Choosing the Right Arm
Here’s how to decide:
✔ Tool Weight – heavier tools need robust arms like Series 6 or 7
✔ Workspace Layout – reach and movement requirements will influence arm length and rotation needs
✔ Ergonomics – arms with locking brakes or smart control features can enhance operator comfort and quality
By equipping your facility with the right tool balancer arm, you improve safety outcomes and productivity metrics — key drivers of manufacturing excellence.
