Skilled worker shortages and ergonomics are directly linked. Companies that provide ergonomic support for heavy work retain qualified staff and gain an advantage in recruitment.

Designing ergonomic machine loading: How manipulators and lifting axes can insert workpieces into machine tools without pendulum movement and with precision — and reduce downtime.

Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common cause of work disability in German manufacturing. What they really cost and how technical lifting aids work.

Manipulator, crane, or robot — three concepts for moving loads. We compare them objectively based on load range, precision, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.

The EU Machinery Regulation 2027 applies from 20 January 2027 directly in all EU member states. Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

How many kg may you lift? In Germany there is no rigid kilogram limit. The decisive rule is the German Load Handling Regulation (LasthandhabV).

What does a manipulator cost? There is no list price because a manipulator is custom-built. The price depends on load capacity, gripper and axes.

What happens when you rethink two proven systems and combine their strengths in a single unit? This very question was the starting point for our latest development. The result is the ZH90 Flex-Arm lifting axis, a handling solution that combines the flexibility of a manipulator with the precise, pendulum-free load guidance of a lifting axis . In this article, we show what distinguishes the ZH90 Flex-Arm, for which applications it was developed, and why pendulum-free load guida

A sliding step extends and retracts over a million times during its lifespan. In wind, ice, and snow. At every single stop. With every passenger boarding. For it to function reliably for decades, every screw must be perfectly aligned during installation. Inside, outside, on the drive mechanism, and on the sensors. Several meters wide, complex geometry, numerous connection points. We've rethought the process. A mounting fixture that guides two ZH90 lifting axes in precise, par

Paint traverses are frames used in automotive manufacturing to safely transport and position vehicle bodies during the painting process. With the help of our innovative manipulators, dismantling these heavy and bulky frames becomes child's play! 💪 When workers manually dismantle the paint traverses, several problems arise compared to a manipulator with a gripping device: 😓 Worker workload: Manual disassembly requires physical effort and causes strain, as the trusses are v

Using the ZH90 lifting axle when installing glass roofs on vehicles offers numerous advantages over traditional methods such as the use of cranes or manual processes. Here are the main advantages: 1. Precision and control ✅ #Accuracy: The ZH90 lifting axis enables precise positioning of the glass roof with minimal tolerances. This is crucial for the tightness and aesthetic fit of the roof. #Stability: The ZH90 lifting axis minimizes vibrations and movements during the install

#Precision The manipulator enables precise movements, which is particularly important when it comes to handling sensitive housings. 📏 # Increased efficiency: By using the manipulator, work processes are optimized and accelerated. This leads to an increase in production speed and efficiency. 🚀 #Worksafety The manipulator reduces the need for manual handling of heavy or bulky enclosures, significantly reducing the risk of injury to workers. 🦺 #Flexibility The manipulator is

Our lifting lift ZH is a floor-mobile device from the field of handling technology that is used in various industries, sectors and logistics areas to lift, move and position heavy loads. It supports employees in a variety of manual lifting tasks. 📢 The ZH lift is used, for example, for #transporting materials in #production, handling boxes and for #shipping in #logistics. By using #lifts, these tasks can be significantly simplified and optimized, which has the following adva

Manipulators as we design and manufacture them are mechanical #devices that are used to grip, move, position, measure or process objects and components. 🏭 In industrial applications, our pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and electrical #manipulators are standalone or part of automated #manufacturing systems. There, together with the #human, you will take on a variety of tasks such as assembling components and #handling workpieces, which brings with it a variety of advantages: 🏆

We developed the #collaborating #lifting axis ZH90 so that you can work safely and efficiently with people in a shared work environment. In contrast to conventional industrial robots, which often work in closed cells and operate separately from people, our lifting axis is designed to #interact directly with human employees and work together on tasks. Here are some features and #characteristics of our collaborative lifting axis ZH90📯: ▶️ #Safety: The lifting axle is equipped

Using a lifting aid to load and remove castings from a casting system offers a variety of benefits, including: Reduction of physical strain 🫁: Lifting and moving heavy and large molding boxes leads to considerable physical strain on employees. The ZH90 lifting axis takes on this work by carrying the load of the components and thereby relieving the strain on employees. ✅ Avoiding Injury 🤕: Manual lifting work can lead to injuries such as back injuries, muscle strains or othe
