Use of Force

When an operator needs to apply force, to affix, lift or pull something, the natural movement stops due to muscle tension. Therefore applying force will increase the time used to perform the movement.

Use of force in AVIX is symbolized by UOF and has a standard time of 0,71 seconds.

When applying force, the table below is used. Note that the load is per hand. According to this table, it’s possible to lift 1.5 kg with one hand (within shoulder width) or 3 kg with 2 hands without adding UOF.

	0-2 kg	2-5 kg	5-10 kg
< shoulder width	0 UOF	1 UOF	2 UOF
> shoulder width	1 UOF	2 UOF	2 UOF
