Ruggedized Exoskeleton for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Comau offers MATE-XT, the latest version of its wearable exoskeleton that fully accommodates the specific needs of workers in demanding industrial, non-industrial and open-air environments.

Featuring a slim, lightweight carbon fiber structure and an intuitive regulation system, the water, dust, UV-light and temperature resistant design can be quickly adjusted to fit virtually any body frame. MATE-XT is also highly breathable due to an enhanced high-performance fabric construction specific for outdoor activities. Suited for assembly, logistics and more, MATE-XT replicates the user's physiological shoulder movements to provide optimal upper body support without batteries, motors or other failure-prone devices. It offers eight different levels of assistance that can be quickly set or changed by the worker without interrupting the task at hand.

"MATE-XT is the only commercially-available exoskeleton with Ergonomic Assessment Work-Sheet (EAWS) certification, attesting to its ability to reduce biomechanical loads during strenuous tasks," said a company spokesperson. "It also improves work quality and wellbeing in a consistent, efficient and highly ergonomic manner. This enables customers to calculate ROI with measurable ergonomic performance."

Based on studies conducted at customers' sites using the EAWS worksheet, Comau estimates that the wearable exoskeleton can help workers increase accuracy during overhead tasks by 27% and execution speed by 10%. It can also reduce cycle times by at least 5%. From an operational standpoint, MATE-XT facilitates increased precision, quality and performance. It reduces shoulder muscle activity by 30% and diminishes the effort felt by workers, with more than 50% of workers reporting beneficial upgrades in job quality, according to Comau.
