A lift column adjusts the height, a lift axis raises heavy loads sway-free on the vertical axis, and a manipulator handles the component freely in space.

This glossary from Zeilhofer explains the key terms around handling technology, manipulators and lifting aids, from balancer and key indicator method to vacuum lifter.

In many production and assembly areas, the variety of components is constantly increasing. Different shapes, weights, and requirements mean that classic handling solutions quickly reach their limits. This is precisely where our new articulated arm manipulator with interchangeable gripper system comes in. The solution was specifically developed to handle a wide variety of components simply, quickly, and safely, without lengthy changeover times or complicated processes. The int

Our articulated arm manipulator for dairy plants makes handling and stacking block molds up to 90 kg ergonomic and meets strict hygiene requirements.

How a custom-made assembly fixture from Zeilhofer HHT makes the production of sliding steps and boarding aids for rail vehicles faster, safer and more reproducible.

Battery housings of 14 kg become a real burden when moved often. Our specially developed gripper picks them up safely, moves them precisely and rotates them.
