Exoskeletons
for the industry
Support at any time
The LiftSuit is a lightweight (< 0.9 kg), textile exoskeleton that supports the back and hip muscles when lifting objects or working in a forward-leaning position.
Ottobock BackX - Dynamic
The latest BackX exoskeleton is optimised for people who have to move loads manually and need to be flexible at the same time.
Relief for the shoulders
Paexo Shoulder supports employees in production and manual trades during strenuous activities, especially when working overhead.
Product overview
These body regions are supported
Arms that are raised for long periods and perform precise tasks often become fatigued. This can be prevented with the EDERO from Armon Products. This product takes the weight off the arms and makes the job easier and more relaxed. For common wrist problems such as tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome, the Paexo Wrist is recommended.

What is an exoskeleton
Exoskeletons are portable support structures that can improve human strength and endurance. The development of this innovative technology began in the 19th century, with the first models being designed primarily for military applications.
A milestone in exoskeleton development
The year 2004 marked a turning point with the introduction of HAL from Japan. As the first exoskeleton for the civilian sector, HAL was used in rehabilitation and gave people with spinal paralysis new freedom of movement.
Variety and possible applications
Exoskeleton technology has made rapid progress over the last 15 years. Numerous companies have dedicated themselves to this topic and developed a variety of active and passive exoskeletons that relieve the strain on different parts of the body and can be used in different areas:
- Industry: Support for manual activities, relief of the back muscles
- Logistics: Increased load-bearing capacity, reduced signs of fatigue
- Care: Support in caring for people with disabilities
- construction industry: Facilitating work in constrained postures
- Rescue services: Increasing rescue capacities, protecting the emergency services

How an exoskeleton works
Exoskeletons support the body and enable it to cope better with everyday life. They adapt to the natural shape of the body and improve posture by relieving muscle spasms and pressure points.
Relief for heavily stressed areas of the body
Most exoskeletons focus on certain areas of the body that are exposed to high loads, such as the shoulders when working overhead or the back when lifting loads. The forces are channelled past these points and transferred via the thighs.
Difference between active & passive exoskeletons
Both active and passive exoskeletons have advantages and disadvantages. Passive models do not require an energy source, but their support is limited. Active systems, on the other hand, offer greater support thanks to electric motors, but are dependent on a power supply.
The right choice for your needs
The decision in favour of an active or passive exoskeleton depends on the respective application. In industry, active models can improve productivity and ergonomics, while passive models offer a cost-effective alternative for sports or rehabilitation.
Buy exoskeleton
Exoskeletons offer ground-breaking opportunities for people with limitations and disabilities to organise their everyday lives more independently. But they are also increasingly being used in industry, construction and the skilled trades.
