: many search for the difference, yet both often mean the same thing. A manipulator is a lifting aid, that is, a technical device that takes the weight of a load and guides it pendulum-free, up to 800 kg. Zeilhofer Handhabungstechnik from Holzkirchen, Germany, builds these devices individually for 18 industries. A detailed definition is given in the guide What is a manipulator. For an overview of all types of lifting aids, see Lifting aids for production and industry. Articul

Lifting aid for assembly relieves your staff at the assembly workstation and makes joining heavy components safe and repeatable. The manipulator carries the weight, the operator guides the load pendulum-free and positions it to the centimetre. Zeilhofer Handhabungstechnik from Holzkirchen, Germany, engineers every solution individually. For an overview of all types of lifting aids, see our guide Lifting aids for production and industry. This article focuses on the assembly wo

Aerospace handling technology demands precision, gentle handling, and documentation. How manipulators and lifting axes move large, delicate components.

Custom grippers and fixtures are precisely designed for the component, weight, and process. Learn when custom manufacturing is worthwhile and how the development process works at Zeilhofer.

Lifting axis or manipulator? Both systems guide loads without pendulum motion. Which concept suits your process? Compare based on load, range of motion, and application.

Ergonomics in metalworking is becoming a bottleneck: Sheet metal, forgings, and castings are heavy, sharp-edged, and must be moved in large quantities. How lifting aids can help.

Heavy-load handling up to 1,200 kg means moving heavy components pendulum-free, precisely and ergonomically, instead of heaving them with brute force.

Choosing the right lifting technology means understanding the task first, then the system. Knowing the load, direction of movement, and cycle time allows you to make a decision that will last 15 to 25 years. That's precisely what the guide from Zeilhofer Handling Technology in Holzkirchen is for: over a dozen articles on selection, drive systems, safety, and application. Manufacturer-neutral, objective, and without sales pressure. Step 1: Determine the appropriate system Mani

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
