April 5, 2018
A Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility worker demonstrates to managers, process improvement specialists and trades people how the Ekso zeroG Arm can be used to reduce injuries and increase productivity during a technology trial Feb. 26-28 at the shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. For the demonstration, the grinder was supported by the arm, which was attached to the simulated bulkhead with switchable magnetic bases. The arm can support up to 42-pound tools and absorbs up to 25 percent of the tool’s vibration. (U.S. Navy photo by Carie Hagins, PSNS & IMF photographer)
