Handling systems – ergonomics & tool guidance for your manual workstations
Handling systems ensure tool guidance is safe, precise, and as comfortable as possible for your employees . Whether linear gantry, parallelogram column, or weight balancer – with our systems, you reduce fatigue, increase efficiency, and improve repeatability. As part of manual workstation equipment, they make a decisive contribution to designing ergonomic manual workstations with the highest level of process reliability.
Our handling systems are specifically designed to make everyday work in manual assembly more comfortable, safer, and more efficient . They relieve your employees' workload, improve the quality of work results , and help keep processes stable and cost-effective over the long term . Whether you want to retrofit individual workstations or equip an entire production line – we provide the right solution.
Different system variants & techniques
DEPRAG offers several types of handling systems ideally suited to various assembly conditions: from static stand solutions and movable arms to counterbalanced weights and ergonomic handles. Each system is designed to ensure tool guidance, minimize stress, and increase efficiency.
Tool guidance with position monitoring
The system detects and monitors the exact tool position.
Ideal for process-reliable, documented assembly , e.g. in regulated industries or in multi-variant production.
Maximum process reliability is achieved through the integration of workstation equipment, such as a position control stand/gantry. This device coordinates, optimizes, and controls the entire production process. The stand/gantry enables the use of screwdrivers from the EC or EC Servo series.
Features:
- Monitoring of screw position and screw sequence, freely programmable
- Individual screw tightening parameters programmable for each screw location
- Relieves the operator by absorbing the reaction torque
- Vertical screwdriver guide
- Optionally available with integrated vertical lift to completely relieve the operator's workload. The clamping force is applied via the cylinder.
Tool guidance without position monitoring
Purely ergonomic and mechanical support , without digital control or feedback. The focus is on stress reduction and simplicity .
Features:
- Relieves the operator by absorbing the reaction torque
- Vertical screwdriver guide
- Optionally available with integrated vertical lift to completely relieve the operator's workload. The clamping force is applied via the cylinder.
Integration & Retrofitting
Our handling systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing workstations or incorporated into new designs from the outset. Parallelogram stands, weight balancers, or screwdriver stands are frequently retrofitted to screwdriver workstations that previously operated without a guidance system. Our systems feature standardized mounting points, easy adjustment, and flexible components, allowing for quick and cost-effective adaptations.
