Designed by Van Berlo, this simple, yet powerful Skelex Exoskeleton is powered by proprietary FlexFrame Technology and adapts to the user’s body shape, supporting the biological movement of the shoulder joint and transfers weight to the lower body.
It also stores and releases energy in an intelligent manner to compensate for gravity, ensuring the comfort and long-term well-being of users.
In an industrial setting, it can be difficult to develop an ergonomic working environment that supports its workers not only mentally but also physically.
Harnesses provide solutions to support one’s body during physically demanding work.
However, the challenge lies in creating such a lightweight and intuitive harness capable of adapting to multiple body types, without hindering the wide range of motions required by the wearer.
The Skelex 360 harness is comprised of two parts: a lightweight carbon frame that delivers the force, and a separated soft-goods part that has close contact with the body.
This combination allows users to easily adjust the harness to their body and permits 360 degrees of motion without any hassle.
The result is an optimized product that stands out among its competitors, not only by its practical capabilities but also with its looks.
The suit is extremely light, easy to use, wear, adjust and move in. Skel-ex is the most advanced— and first 36-degrees freedom—exoskeleton under 3 kg.
The design is based on a smartly designed carbon fiber spring without any electronics or actuators to keep it light.
The suit is designed to intuitively put on and adjust according to body size.
It only touches the body where needed and provides upwards force for lifting.
