Innovative, Lightweight Range Promotes Greater Worker Acceptance

ZASCHE handling, a provider of load handling technology, unveils its new series of carbon-fiber handling solutions. Engineered in close consultation with a renowned German university, the low-weight Carbon series offers high performance that does not compromise on safety. The product is available globally in the articulated arm and lifting axle formats.

Compared to regular industrial manipulators, the Carbon series realizes impressive weight savings, providing users with an efficient manual handling device of very low inertia. This feature improves significant ergonomics on the shop floor, as it ensures that device dead weight is kept lower than a workpiece’s mass.

“Often, workers fall back into old ways when new equipment does not seem to improve working conditions,” commented Erwin Wagner, Managing Director, ZASCHE handling. “Our product development process considers the fact that manual workstations are subject to increasingly higher requirements of ergonomics and hand forces. At ZASCHE, we are dedicated to delivering solutions that meet customers’ felt needs, and the Carbon series attests to our commitment.”

The new feature helps visitors to better understand various equipment’s functions and offers 3D visualizations of how the product elements come together to form a complete solution.

Wagner continued, “Before the pandemic, our customers used to be able to personally experience ZASCHE’s solutions with their workpieces. Even as travel restrictions gradually loosen, we’re mindful to offer alternatives to those who can’t yet visit our physical showroom. The team is committed to serving our customers the best we can, and we’ll continue evolving to stay ahead.”
