MANIPULATORS, LIFTING AXES AND LIFTING AIDS IN PRACTICE

Gently gripping, rotating and inserting sand cores from 1.1 to 68.9 kg from the inside: a case study of an articulated arm manipulator with internal grip for the core shop of a foundry, with technical data, workflow, comparison and FAQ.

A manipulator with interchangeable gripping jaws grips components either from the inside or from the outside. Challenge, operating principle, comparison, applications and FAQ on the system for different component geometries.

How a manipulator with an interchangeable spreading mandrel handles different core diameters in one system and reduces setup times in roll handling.

Instead of wrestling drums by hand, a manipulator with a drum gripper guides the load pendulum-free, up to 800 kg (the ZH90 lift axis up to 1,200 kg).

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.

Explainer video: how a Zeilhofer manipulator with adaptive gripper inserts heavy fire door cores into the frame, so one person does the job of two.

In many production and assembly areas, the variety of components is constantly increasing. Different shapes, weights, and requirements mean that classic handling solutions quickly reach their limits. This is precisely where our new articulated arm manipulator with interchangeable gripper system comes in. The solution was specifically developed to handle a wide variety of components simply, quickly, and safely, without lengthy changeover times or complicated processes. The int

How a custom-made assembly fixture from Zeilhofer HHT makes the production of sliding steps and boarding aids for rail vehicles faster, safer and more reproducible.

Battery housings of 14 kg become a real burden when moved often. Our specially developed gripper picks them up safely, moves them precisely and rotates them.

Five facts about our battery-powered floor trolley for car tires: tire detection, extendable gripping device and in-house developed omni-wheels.

This mobile floor trolley picks up, moves and places car tires safely and ergonomically, with omni-wheels, battery operation and a telescopic gripping device.
