Jewellers Workshop Bench 6-axis Telescopic Arm Support
A professional jeweller with his own workshop experienced significant mobility limitations following spinal surgery, resulting in loss of sensation and movement on the left side. Specifically, the inability to lift and manoeuvre his left arm hindered detailed jewellery-making and repair tasks. Standard assistive devices from commercial sources lacked the necessary dexterity and range of motion required for precise work.
The Challenge
Design and implement a customised support system that enhances arm mobility and dexterity, allowing the jeweller to continue his craft safely and effectively despite limited arm movement.
The solution
Developed and integrated a custom 6-axis telescopic arm support attached to the workshop bench. This system provides precise, multi-directional movement control, enabling the jeweller to manipulate his left arm with greater ease and stability during intricate tasks. The support system was tailored to meet his specific needs, ensuring improved dexterity and reducing physical strain.
The benefit
Restored functional capacity for detailed jewellery work despite mobility limitations.
Increased precision and control during jewellery-making and repair tasks.
Enhanced safety and comfort in the workspace.
Enabled continued professional activity, maintaining independence and productivity.
Demonstrated innovative adaptation to complex physical limitations, improving workflow and quality of work.
