END-OF-ARM TOOLING / COMPLETE SOLUTION
DEVICE AS A COMPLETE SOLUTION FOR ZHHT PRODUCTS
End-of-arm tooling, also known as end-of-arm tooling, refers to the holding tools at the end of a lifting aid or manipulator. Zeilhofer Handling Technology develops and manufactures six types of end-of-arm tooling: gripping devices, suction devices, magnetic devices, hook devices, screwdrivers and screw spindles, as well as custom-designed devices. Each end-of-arm tooling is individually designed according to the component, weight, surface finish, and process, and is delivered CE-compliant as part of the overall system.
Every lifting aid is only as good as its device. Zeilhofer supplies both the system and the device from a single source, with one contact person and CE conformity for the entire system.
-
Individual development for each component
-
One contact person for system and equipment
-
CE conformity of the entire system including device
-
Reduction of interfaces through a complete solution
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
FROM IDEA TO FINISHED DEVICE
Step 1
COMPONENT ANALYSIS
We analyze weight, geometry, surface finish, and process requirements.
Step 2
3D CONSTRUCTION
CAD design of the device, coordination with the customer
Step 3
PRODUCTION
Manufacturing and assembly including full quality control
Step 4
COMMISSIONING
On-site assembly, parameterization and acceptance testing at the customer's premises
Device types
SIX TYPES. UNLIMITED VARIANTS.
Each device is individually developed according to component, weight, surface and process — never off-the-shelf, always custom-made.
01 GRIPPING DEVICE
Customer- and product-specific gripping devices for safe, component-friendly gripping. From simple parallel grippers to complex multi-point grippers with sensing and locking mechanisms — individually designed for each component.
-
Manual, pneumatic or electropneumatic gripping
-
Gripping force and stroke individually designed
-
Component query and locking possible
-
Compatible with safety controller
Compatible with:
ZH90 lifting axis / articulated manipulator / ZH lifting lift / cable-jointed manipulator
02 SUCTION DEVICE
For delicate, smooth, or large-area components that cannot be clamped. Special suction cups and vacuum pumps allow for efficient and surface-friendly lifting of the load—even with non-planar geometries using specialized suction cups.
-
For glass, sheet metal, plastic, wood
-
Vacuum monitoring with safety shutdown
-
Single or multi-vacuum configurations
-
No surface damage
Compatible with:
ZH90 lifting axis / articulated manipulator / ZH lifting lift / cable-jointed manipulator
03 MAGNETIC DEVICE
For ferromagnetic workpieces made of steel or iron — no gripper, no fixture required, simply position and lift. Both permanent magnets and switchable electromagnets with precise ejection control are used.
-
Permanent or electromagnet
-
For pneumatic and electropneumatic systems
-
Controlled shutdown / ejection
-
Ideal for foundries and sheet metal processing
Compatible with:
ZH90 lifting axis / articulated manipulator / ZH lifting lift / cable-jointed manipulator
04 HOOK DEVICE
The simplest and fastest solution for universal lifting. Hook devices offer maximum flexibility when a wide variety of loads need to be moved quickly and easily — without component-specific setup times.
-
Universally applicable, no setup time
-
Continuous rotation for free positioning
-
Ideal for logistics and foundries
-
Tested hook geometry according to standard
Compatible with:
ZH90 lifting axis / articulated manipulator / ZH lifting lift / cable manipulator
05 SCREWDRIVER & SCREW SPINDLE
Thanks to their high torque capacity, our lifting aids are ideal for integrating screwdrivers and screw spindles. A wide variety of types can be easily integrated and monitored via IO-Link or fieldbus – fully automatically or operator-guided.
-
Fully automatic or operator-guided screw fastening
-
Torque monitoring and logging
-
All common screwdriver types can be integrated.
-
IO-Link / Fieldbus-compatible
Compatible with:
Lifting axle ZH90 / Articulated manipulator / Lifting lift ZH
06 SPECIAL DEVICE
Is your component too complex, too sensitive, or too unusual for a standard solution? No problem. We will work with you to develop a completely customized device—from the initial sketch to the CE-compliant system.
-
Fully individual development
-
Combination of several device types possible
-
CE conformity of the entire system
-
One contact person for everything — from the idea to the final acceptance
Compatible with:
Lifting axle ZH90 / Articulated manipulator / Lifting lift ZH
FAQ / Q&A
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DEVICES
01 What is a device in the field of handling technology?
An end-of-arm tooling device (EOAT) is the holding tool at the end of a lifting aid or manipulator. It establishes contact with the component, for example by gripping, suction, or magnetic force.
02 What is end-of-arm tooling?
End-of-arm tooling, or EOAT for short, refers to the device at the load-bearing point of a lifting aid or manipulator. It establishes contact with the component, for example, as a gripper, suction cup, magnet, or hook. Zeilhofer develops the end-of-arm tooling individually for each component and integrates it into the overall system in compliance with CE regulations.
03 What types of fixtures does Zeilhofer HHT offer?
Zeilhofer Handling Technology manufactures six types: gripping device, suction device, magnetic device, hook device, screwdriver and screw spindle as well as individual special devices.
04 Are the devices compatible with all Zeilhofer products?
Yes. The devices can be combined with the ZH90 lifting axis, the articulated manipulator, the ZH lifting lift, and the cable manipulator. The design is project-specific.
05 Which device is suitable for sensitive surfaces?
The suction device is suitable for smooth or delicate components such as glass, sheet metal, or plastic. It lifts gently using a vacuum, without clamping the component.
06 Which device is suitable for which component?
The choice depends on the material, surface finish, weight, and geometry of the component. Gripping devices are suitable for dimensionally stable parts, suction devices for smooth or delicate surfaces such as glass and sheet metal, magnetic devices for ferromagnetic workpieces made of steel or iron, and hook devices for fast, universal lifting. Zeilhofer develops custom devices for complex requirements.
07 Does Zeilhofer supply lifting aids and devices from a single source?
Yes. Zeilhofer develops, manufactures, and integrates the device together with the lifting aid or manipulator. The customer has a single point of contact for the entire system, and CE conformity applies to the complete system including the device.
08 Who is responsible for CE conformity of the device and system?
Zeilhofer Handling Technology supplies lifting aids and devices as a complete solution from a single source and is responsible for the CE conformity of the entire system.
