Welding with Assistive Force—How the S700 Active Shoulder Exoskeleton Makes Everyday Work Easier

Welding work is physically demanding, requires precision, and often must be performed over long periods of time. Many skilled workers reach their physical limits, especially when working overhead. This is exactly where exoIQ’s S700 active shoulder exoskeleton comes in: It was developed specifically for tasks that place heavy strain on the shoulder muscles—and provides noticeable relief during the workday.

The right tool: Ergonomic support for welding

The S700 active shoulder exoskeleton is the right tool for demanding tasks. Thanks to its active support, it reduces muscular strain on the shoulders during overhead tasks by up to 45% while stabilizing posture. The result:

• Less fatigue

• More endurance

• Greater precision at work

Especially when welding—where concentration and steady movements are crucial—the S700 shoulder exoskeleton can make a real difference. It allows employees to focus on the quality of the welds without being hindered by physical strain.

Case Study: Metallart Relies on the S700 Shoulder Exoskeleton in the Welding Area

One company that is actively benefiting from the S700 active shoulder exoskeleton is our customer, METALLART Treppen GmbH. On the production floor, the exoskeleton is used for tasks such as welding—and the team has provided positive feedback. Employees report that it provides effective support, noticeable relief, and reduced fatigue.

"The exoskeleton from exoIQ has proven to be a very effective aid in our business, especially for longer periods of overhead work."

says Vadzid Redzepi, deputy production manager and welding supervisor at METALLART. The integration of the exoskeleton into everyday work shows how modern technology and craftsmanship can go hand in hand—to the benefit of employees and product quality.

Conclusion: Greater precision through reduced stress

The use of the S700 active shoulder exoskeleton demonstrates how physically demanding tasks can be made more ergonomic. Especially in welding, where precision and endurance are essential, the S700 active shoulder exoskeleton proves to be the right tool for the job. Companies like METALLART show how the right tool can bring about lasting improvements to everyday work.
