Common questions

By definition, human exoskeletons, commonly referred to as exosuits or exos, are wearable devices designed to enhance the physical capabilities of workers in industrial settings. SUITX exoskeletons are specifically developed to assist workers in performing physically demanding tasks and reduce the risk of injuries, fatigue, and strain associated with repetitive or strenuous work.

IX SHOULDER AIR

Like a backpack, the IX SHOULDER AIR is worn close to the body. With its intelligent, purely mechanical cable pull technology, the exoskeleton makes it easier to lift and hold up the arms, thus reducing unpleasant stress peaks in the shoulder and neck area. With the help of its support structures, it transfers the weight of the arms to the hips, where the loads are easily absorbed, just like a hiking backpack (the pelvis is the strongest bone in the human body).

IX BACK

During deep bending movements to lift heavy loads, the IX BACK provides up to 25 kg (55 lbs) of relief in the lower back.

IX BACK AIR

The IX BACK AIR is not intended to be used to increase the load lifted by the wearer. It is intended to reduce the user’s fatigue and risk of injury at the L5/S1 vertebra by reducing their muscle activity around the joint.
