Skelex 360-XFR
The Ultimate Exoskeleton for Overhead Work
Skelex 360-XFR is a mechanical exoskeleton that aids industrial workers with overheard repetitive work. It uses our proprietary FlexFrame Technology to reduce stress on the arms and back. The suit is extremely light, easy-to-use, wear, adjust and move in. It is the most advanced – and first 360-degrees freedom – exoskeleton under 3 kg.
Be Your Ultimate – With Ultimate Comfort and Functionality
The Skelex 360-XFR comes with a revamped arm cup interface. It has a Pinch Lock release and V-Lock arm length adjustment for increased functionality. We’ve redesigned EVA padding for added comfort and absorption. Available in three sizes and back compatible with all Skelex 360 devices.
Created for Condition-resistance
Not just safe to use in industrial settings, the Skelex 360-XFR was built for supreme durability. Significant components of the outer shell (arm cups, height adjustment system) are crafted with Tencate TecaSafe (Plus)® and Kevlar ® Nomax ®, making these components fire and flame retardant, oil and water repellant and static repellent.
Minimal interference with work environments
Skelex 360-XFR is optimally used with back covers (sold seperately and back compatible with previous generation Skelex devices – inquire here!) that protect work environments from the exoskeleton springs, preventing scratches and tangles. The springs are made with Tencate TecaSafe (Plus)® and reinforced with PP patches to ensure fire retardancy for the FlexFrame.
Numerous adjustability options for multi-use
The Skelex 360-XFR comes with Back covers for the FlexFrame, protecting work environments from scratches and preventing exoskeleton springs from any tangles in the environment. Made with Tencate TecaSafe (Plus)® and reinforced with PP patches to ensure fire retardancy for the FlexFrame. Back compatible with previous Skelex 360 devices.
