- Offer Profile
- Zasche handling was founded
in 1932 as a company specializing in steel and crane construction and
evolved into the market leader for handling technology.
Its portfolio encompasses a wide of products, range starting from simple manually operated manipulators to semi-automated manipulators, jib cranes, light crane systems, lifting devices or steel construction.
Product Portfolio
Manipulators
Pivot arms
- These pivot arms are combined with rope balancers. An
extremely comfortable handling for the machine operator is achieved by
mounting the hoist on the column, whereby only the low mass of the secondary
arm needs to be moved.
The operator can choose between different model series - depending on the component weight - to achieve the optimum ratio between payload and moving mass.
Especially for low payloads we can recommend our carbon series. Compared to the steel version, the dead mass is reduced by 75%. This considerably increases the productivity, joining accuracy and worker acceptance of your employees.Technical specifications

Parallelogram Manipulators
- Our parallelogram devices combine a pneumatic hoist with
a parallelogram. This technology allows the equalization of torsional forces
and therefore enables the picking up of workpieces outside their center of
gravity.
Parallelograms have a standard working radius of up to 3,200 mm. Those dimensions can, however, be extended or shortened according to the task at hand.
We also offer a very compact version of our parallelogram for light- weight applications. This version excels through its optimized cross section and greatly reduced dead weight.Technical specifications

Lifting axes
- Lifting axes are usually pneumatically powered and
perform a linear stroke. They are used for the rigid, off-centered guidance
of the load. They allow for the loads to be comfortably and safely guided
due to the direct transmission of the applied hand forces onto the load.
They excel through their low dead weight and their ease of movement.
The guidances consist of hardened and ground recirculating ball bearing guides in machine tool quality. These are being combined with low maintenance recirculating ball bearing guide sleds, which require low manual forces for the stroke movement
To enable the handling of higher payloads of up to 1000 kg the lifting axes can also be equipped with a chain hoist.Technical specifications

Telescopic lifting devices
- Telescoping lifting devices are moved up and down by
electrically actuated chain hoists using internally or externally running
chains. They are available in two different design variations: With a square
column as a square telescope (TV) or with a round column as a round
telescope (TR). Both versions are available as single telescopic and double
telescopic.
Telescopes are especially suitable for handling heavy workpieces up to 1,500 kg. They can handle large torques of up to 5,000 Nm. The maximum available stroke is 2000 mm, depending on the version. They can be installed either in a rail system or on a floor- mounted Z-K2 heavy duty pivot arm.
With the double telescopic design, they can also be used in low ceiling rooms.Technical spefications

Stacker crane
- Off-centered pick-up positions and large strokes outside
the machine operator's reach - these are the core strengths of a stacking
trolley. The control unit remains ergonomically irrespective of the long
distances between the pickup and the stacking position.
Lifting capacities and torques can be specially adapted to your application.Technical specifications

Floor-guided handling devices
- A special form of manual handling equipment are handling
devices on the ground. They are used in situations where it is not possible
or desirable to attach a handling device to the floor or ceiling.
A another advantage is that a mobile solution can work independently of a specific installation point.
Mobile handling devices can be operated purely mechanically, electrically (e.g. battery), hydraulically or pneumatically.Technical specifications

Suspension crane systems
Semi-automation
- In today’s market a handling device must not only
guarantee high process reliability. Flexibility and versatility, shorter
cycle times and repeat accuracy are increasingly in the forefront. For
difficult and sensitive handling tasks, often in combination with limited
space, purely hand-operated applications are reaching their limits. Limited
space is an additional reason for semi-automation.
In hand-held automatic operation, applicable standards for fully automated systems are not applied, meaning that the space required by protective devices such as fences and light curtains is completely eliminated. However, the machine operator can still actively intervene in the handling process and initiate manual process steps through his perception.
Whether small loads with a high cycle time of cycles or high loads in the range of more than 1.000 kg: Thanks to our in-house expertise, we are able to offer you semi-automatic systems for every load range.Design variations
The manipulators are configured according to your requirements. Depending on those requirements, linear or rotary drives with internal measuring systems or laser measuring are used for positioning the system and the process sequence is programmed accordingly.
Tool handling / tool panels
- Whether it is tool or fixture handling, we can provide
the optimized tool panel for you and your process.
An ergonomic and efficient workplace design allows you to reduce the tool supply to a minimum. The risk of tripping that is caused by loose cables and hoses is thereby avoided and the rapid accessibility of tools, power supply, small parts and attachments as well as fixtures is guaranteed. This shortens your cycle times thanks to a reduction in travel distances.Technical specifications
