Niels Woods, welder, uses a grinder attached to an Ekso Zero Gravity Arm, to smooth out welds on a Light Armored Vehicle at PPB, MDMC, aboard the Yermo Annex of MCLB Barstow, June 29. The “zero-g” arm counterbalances the 25 to 30 pound weight of the grinder making it easier to use for longer periods without causing stress or muscle injuries to the welder. The arm is also being evaluated for use with other tools.
