Technology that rises above it all: The new Wizard Arm Overhead

Anyone working in material handling knows: the more efficiently a workstation is designed, the smoother the processes run. But especially where every square inch counts, conventional systems with columns or floor mounting quickly reach their limits.

That’s exactly where our latest solution comes in: the Wizard Arm Overhead – a swing arm that doesn’t get in the way, but simply floats above everything.

When the column is in the way – just move it overhead

In many work areas, a standing column simply isn’t an option. Whether floor space is limited, passages need to stay clear, or the workplace layout changes regularly – the demand for an alternative solution is high. With the Wizard Arm Overhead, we consistently shift the technology upwards: the entire system is mounted on the ceiling, a ceiling beam, or within an X/Y rail system. This way, the column disappears from the floor – making room for what really matters: your work.

More space, more possibilities

The overhead arm hovers above the workspace, creating freedom for fast, safe, and ergonomic work.

All movements take place within the working radius and the rail system, allowing every position to be reached precisely and reliably – whether automatically or manually.

At its core is a lightweight swing arm made of anodized aluminum profiles, equipped with a standardized central joint that enables maximum mobility. This way, the arm reaches every point within the workspace – effortlessly and with pinpoint accuracy.

Flexible in motion – electric or manual

A key feature of the Wizard Arm Overhead is its versatility:

• In the X/Y direction, the system can be moved either manually or driven by intelligent electric modules.

• Within the working radius, the arm can be positioned smoothly and easily.

• Vertical motion is controlled directly via the control unit’s handle.

  This allows the system to be tailored exactly to local requirements – from simple workstations to complex production processes.

A full overhead transport system (OHT) is not always the best solution. Especially when only a limited workspace needs to be covered or when the overall setup should remain lean, the Wizard Arm Overhead is the smart alternative.

It combines the advantages of a compact design with the flexibility and performance of a larger system – while being much slimmer in installation, effort, and space requirements.

Tailored solutions – just as you need them

As with all our Wizard systems, customization is not the exception, but the standard:

• Software solutions can be adapted to customer needs.

• All load handling attachments are compatible – whether mechanical, pneumatic, magnetic, vacuum-based, or simply a hook.

This makes the Wizard Arm Overhead a true all-rounder, seamlessly integrating into existing processes – while also enabling new applications that would simply not be possible with conventional systems.

Conclusion: A space-saving marvel with real technical depth

The Wizard Arm Overhead is more than just a new variant of our Wizard system. It is the answer to a central question in modern production and assembly environments: how can technology be integrated so that it delivers performance without taking up space?With its overhead-mounted architecture, modular adaptability, and intuitive operation, it offers a solution that adapts to your processes – not the other way around.

A solution that fits in instead of standing in the way – that works.
