Defense Ramp-Up: What the Manufacturing Boom Means for Suppliers and Handling Technology
The defense ramp-up has long reached not only the large system houses but the entire supply chain. Anyone manufacturing components, assemblies or parts for defense technology faces the same question: how can production be ramped up quickly and safely? For suppliers, handling technology is a central building block. The defense ramp-up for suppliers hits the entire supply chain: anyone manufacturing components for defense technology must ramp up production quickly and safely. M

A Turning Point in Manufacturing: Handling Technology for Scaling Defense Production
The defense industry is under pressure to scale up its production capacity significantly and fast. While order books grow, staff and floor space remain limited. This is exactly where handling technology for defense production becomes a lever: it lets you move heavy components faster, more safely and more reproducibly, with fewer people. Handling technology for defense production essentially means one thing: moving heavy components faster, more safely and more reproducibly wit

Manipulator for the Plastics and Injection-Molding Industry
Large injection-molded parts, tools, molds and filled mesh boxes shape everyday work in plastics processing. Much of it is heavy, hot or sensitive. Anyone changing tools or removing components here needs a lifting aid that guides precisely and relieves the worker. This article shows where a manipulator in injection molding plays to its strengths. A manipulator for injection molding is therefore designed for three tasks: changing heavy tools, removing large molded parts and ha

Manipulator for the Wood Industry: Handling Panels and Glulam Ergonomically
Solid wood panels, glulam beams, furniture carcasses or wood-based panels are bulky, heavy and pressure-sensitive at edges and surfaces. In the wood and furniture industry, the right lifting aid decides whether components are moved damage-free, ergonomically and in cycle. A manipulator for the wood industry solves exactly these tasks. A manipulator for the wood industry is therefore designed for two things: gentle handling of sensitive surfaces and safe movement of heavy soli

ATEX and Ex Protection: Handling Technology for Areas at Risk of Explosion
In paint shops, the chemical industry, powder handling or battery manufacturing, explosive atmospheres can occur. Anyone lifting and moving loads there needs an ATEX manipulator that does not form an ignition source. This article explains what ATEX means, which zones exist and why the drive determines suitability or unsuitability. Articulated manipulator with gripping device for aluminum components What does ATEX mean? ATEX stands for the EU directives on explosion protection
