Powerflex 3arm® - a synonym for flexible, smooth-running and ergonomic work in daily use.
In any company where employees assemble, assemble and process materials, this usually involves heavy physically tiring and ergonomically unfavorable work. In the long run, this endangers health and lowers stamina and performance. The solution for these problems and work situations we offer you, as a company Fröhlich & Dörken GmbH, the specialist for handling systems for over 30 years as a general agency in Germany.
The 3arm® series is designed to effortlessly hold tools and other equipment up to 35 kilograms. In different working areas, with various different adapter systems, the 3arm® series enables you to work weightlessly, flexibly and ergonomically. Grinders, torque and impact wrenches, as well as other tools and equipment can be moved and operated easily and without effort.
The versatility of the 3arm® series in assembly lines at automotive manufacturers, machine builders and in aerospace engineering, - or even in craft workshops and workshops for the disabled - gives this system its nickname: Multifunction Arm.
The 3arm® series impresses with its flexibility and variability. The use of the respective tools takes place without physical effort, with low fatigue and in an ergonomically optimal working posture. If the tool is moved to another position, this happens almost weightlessly and without effort. The 3arm® series can be used stationary at a fixed workstation or, in combination with the corresponding accessories, at any position within the workshop or production.
The Powerflex handling system adapts to the existing individual local conditions. As a result, the investment costs are essentially limited to the actual product. The 3arm® series is used both in the stand-alone version and in series production. The 3arm® series is the solution for maintaining your health, strength and performance, especially when working overhead for long periods of time or with outstretched arms. The entire Powerflex 3arm family is also ideally suited for use in workshops for the disabled, or when it comes to providing an adequate workplace for people with physical disabilities in the private sector.

Three different arm lengths, all brake options and headstocks provide versatility for any type of tool.
POWERFLEX® 3arm®
Series 1
The 3arm® Series 1 is the entry-level model in a series of indispensable helpers in the workplace.
Advantages of the 3arm® Series 1
This 3arm® impresses with its flexibility and variability in this smallest version with a weight range of 0 - 10 kilograms (adapter including tool).
The 3arm® Series 1 consists of a double articulated arm and a mounting adapter. The mounting adapter is used to attach various tools that are required for the respective machining purpose.
Without tools, the 3arm® Series 1 has a maximum reach of 1123mm and a maximum vertical distance of 1.070m.
Our customers already use a variety of adapters for this purpose.
POWERFLEX® 3arm®
Series 2
- for large-area horizontal machining
The Powerflex- 3arm® Series 2 a combination of radial arm and swivel arm, each rotatable 360 degrees, is used where the vertical height of the machining area is of limited importance.
Key data of the 3arm® Series 2
For these reasons, the first part of the articulated arm consists of a radial arm. Thus, the strength of the Powerflex 3arm® Series 2 lies in the machining of flat workpieces from above. For example, when uniformly grinding, polishing, drilling holes or fastening screws.
The Powerflex 3arm® Series 2 additionally allows to work in a vertical range of maximum 0.530 m. If the mounting column is used as an option, the vertical machining range can also be varied in height by up to 0.447 m, which significantly extends the range once again. The Powerflex 3arm® Series 2 can also be variably and flexibly adapted for the use of many different tools by means of various mounting adapters.
The damper weight range for the 3arm® Series 2 is between 0 and 6.0 kg. Tools and mounting adapters with a maximum total weight of up to 6.0 kg can be used in the vertical, horizontal and free angle working modes. This means that a wide range of practical requirements for the respective workplace equipment can already be met.
The 3arm® Series 2 is often used at stationary workstations. Due to the exact damper setting, it optimally supports the respective motion sequences and guarantees ergonomic and health-friendly work without great effort. The exact positioning of the almost floating tool enables optimal work results in a consistent quality, with significantly reduced physical strain.
POWERFLEX® 3arm®
Series 3
- always the right solution
The 3arm® Series 3 is characterized by its variety of variants, its maximum horizontal reach of 1.73 m, its maximum vertical distance of 1.13 m and its damper weight ranges of 0 - 35 kg.
Key data of the 3arm® Series 3
With the large selection of adapters and the numerous combination options with different basic articulated arms, vertical swivel arms and braking systems, the 3arm® Series 3 meets all requirements, whether in use at individual workstations or in series production. For this reason, the Series 3 is also the best-selling model in the Powerflex 3arm® product family.
Choosing a 3arm® Series 3 opens up unimagined possibilities in the workshop and production for handling tools of various kinds. Whether guiding heavy grinding machines, drilling holes with pinpoint accuracy, or screwing objects in hard-to-reach places.
With the 3arm® Series 3, you get a handling system that makes daily work considerably easier, significantly reduces fatigue and also ensures consistently high quality in the work result.
Where robotics still reaches its limits, or is simply too expensive as a problem solution, the combination of the Powerflex 3arm® Series 3 and human skills is an extremely economical alternative to optimize processes and increase production efficiency. At the same time, the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and late health effects is reduced.
POWERFLEX® 3arm®
Series 4
The basic technical concept of the 3arm® Series 4 is the same as that of the entry-level Series 1 model, but its technical details and capabilities are larger.
Key data of the 3arm® Series 4
The possibility of larger dimensioning applies to the maximum reach, the vertical distance, the number of available mounting adapters, as well as the damper weight range. In addition, in contrast to the 3arm® Series 1, this model offers a choice of four different braking options. This makes the 3arm® Series 4 a versatile handling system in the workshop and production and can be used for different machining tasks.
The 3arm® Series 4 is characterized by its generous dimensions. Due to the maximum reach of 1555mm, a horizontal area of about 7 sqm can be processed.
The vertical distance of the 3arm® Series 4 is 1340mm. As with the entire Powerflex 3arm family, the respective tool can be operated without physical effort, in a working posture that is easy on the health. If the tool has to be moved to another position, this is done almost weightlessly and without effort.
The Powerflex 3arm® Series 4 is used both in the stand-alone version and as an integrated station in series production. When working with raised or extended arms, this 3arm® is the optimal solution to protect the health, strength and performance of your employees.
POWERFLEX® 3arm®
Series 6
- The extravagant 3arm®
The 3arm® Series 6 is a special feature within the Powerflex family. Here, the advantages of the Powerflex handling systems are combined with those of linear technology to achieve the largest possible machining radius with a high damper weight at the same time.
Key data of the 3arm® Series 6
Thanks to the telecopic articulated arm, even hard-to-reach screwing cases are now a thing of the past. Due to the large horizontal reach, the Powerflex 3arm® Series 6 is particularly suitable for work in industrial series production, where the same operations are often repeated in the same place at high cycle rates.
This can be, for example, the setting of wheel nuts in car production. In such activities, precision, production speed and production efficiency are important. The health of the operators must always be taken into account, which is precisely the case with the Powerflex 3arm Series 6. The floating position of the tool allows its positioning without much effort and can be done even by less strong people, or people with physical handicap
