This handling-technology glossary from Zeilhofer explains the key terms around handling technology, manipulators and lifting aids – concise, vendor-neutral and to the point. From balancer and key indicator method to vacuum lifter. Articulated-arm manipulator Systems and designs Manipulator A manipulator is a guided handling device that takes the weight of a load so the operator can move it with little effort, pendulum-free and precisely. Unlike a crane, it carries the load vi

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.

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

Handling glass panes in industrial manufacturing requires pendulum-free movement and gentle vacuum clamping. How manipulators are easing the burden on the glass industry.

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.

Pendulum-free handling guides heavy loads in a controlled manner — instead of allowing them to swing freely. This makes positioning precise, safe and ergonomic.

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

In window production, Zeilhofer handling technology moves heavy glass panes and window elements ergonomically and without damage. Vacuum suction devices pick up the smooth, sensitive surfaces gently. The ZH90 lifting axis combined with a suction device guides large panes pendulum-free. #GlassHandling #VacuumLifter #LiftingAxis #zhht

Our ZH90 lifting axis enables precise, powerful, and accurately guided lifting and lowering of loads, including rigid load guidance for maximum process reliability. It offers decisive advantages: ✅ ergonomic working ✅ precise & smooth movements ✅ High process reliability & efficiency ✅ Relief for employees In combination with a rail system, the lifting axis can also move in the X and Y directions, significantly expanding the working range. With a load capacity of up to 1

This ZH90 lifting axis was specially designed for this purpose: The support device can be separated from the rest of the system in no time and safely parked and transported on a specially designed storage trolley. ✅ Ideal for maintenance – device can be easily moved into place ✅ Specially designed for this purpose – maximum practicality ✅ Quick & easy – no effort required to solve ✅ Flexible & safe – components remain protected and organized This makes maintenance efficient,

Our patented ZH90 lifting axis has been in successful use for years – and for good reason. A product that has proven itself in numerous applications and offers our customers decisive advantages: ✔ Complete solution from a single source 🤝 We not only supply the lifting axis, but also offer a complete system consisting of the ZH90, a matching gripper, and a precisely coordinated control system. This provides you with a ready-to-use solution, optimally tailored to your requirem

In a foundry, the ZH90 lifting axis handles pendulum-free lifting and precise positioning of heavy castings and mould boxes. Especially in foundries with high temperatures and heavy loads, it noticeably relieves staff and ensures consistent quality. The ZH90 lifts up to 1,200 kg in a lightweight aluminium construction. #LiftingAxis #ZH90 #Foundry #Ergonomics #zhht
