Handling Technology for the Defense Industry: Relieving Workers During Production Ramp-up
Defense budgets are reaching record highs worldwide, and ammunition factories are multiplying their capacities. The bottleneck in production is rarely the machine, but the manual handling of heavy components. Zeilhofer's handling technology for the defense industry relieves workers: manipulators up to 800 kg, ZH90 lifting axis up to 1,200 kg, and custom grippers — pendulum-free and precise. ISO 9001 and TISAX Level 2 with prototype protection secure confidential projects.

Explanatory video: Ergonomically inserting the inner components of fire doors
The internal components of a fire door are heavy, large, and must be precisely fitted into the door frame. Previously, this often required two people. In our explanatory video, we demonstrate step by step how a manipulator from Zeilhofer Handling Technology performs this exact task: ergonomically, precisely, and with virtually any component size. The solution originated from a specific customer request in the door manufacturing industry. We explain which manipulator is used a

ZH90 Flex-Arm lifting axis: The next generation of pendulum-free handling technology
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
