Ergonomic handling for car battery housings (2/2)
14 kg may sound manageable at first, but if battery casings have to be moved frequently, it quickly becomes a real burden for employees. Unwieldy geometries, repetitive movements and high cycle times lead to physical strain in everyday life and, in the long term, to limitations. Our solution: a specially developed gripper for battery housings. He makes this possible: ✅ Safe recording ✅ Precise movement ✅ Flexible rotation and swiveling of components This allows the worker to

Manipulator with 250KG lifting capacity
In this video we show one of our new manipulators, which was specially developed for handling turbine blades. Since we don't have an original component available for demonstration, we'll use a car tire to illustrate the function. The principle, however, remains the same: safe picking up, controlled movement, and precise positioning of sensitive components. The manipulator has a maximum load capacity of up to 250 kilograms and supports the customer's production process with in

Handling of aluminum plates / Lifting axis ZH90
Aluminum plates look robust - but they aren't. Their surfaces are soft, prone to scratches, and sensitive to friction or point loads. Incorrect gripping, excessive pressure, or a jerky movement is enough to leave visible damage.❌ The ZH90 lifting axis allows for the fast, safe, and controlled movement of delicate aluminum plates. Even force distribution and smooth movements ensure surface protection, dimensionally accurate components, and stable processes. ✅ #zhht #handlingte
