Hilti unveils new products focused on increased safety and efficiency during COVID-19 recovery.
On July 23, 2020, Hilti hosted its first virtual product launch for members of the press. The new lineup includes the: PMD 200 jobsite layout solution, diamond core drilling system DD 150-U, cordless die grinder GDG-A22, turbo cup wheel for angle grinders, Kwik Cast Connect (KCC) cast-in-place anchors, KH-EZ C countersunk screw anchors, cordless angle grinder AG 4S-A22, cordless angle grinder AG 4S-A22, cordless rivet tool RT 6-A22 and drywall screwdriver SD 5000-A22. Hilti also released a flap disc, fiber disc and abrasive belt portfolio, as well as its firestop, smoke and sound seals Top Track Seal CFS-TTS R OS and CFS-TTS 212.
The highlight of the product lunch was the EXO-O1 wearable exoskeleton. It is a passive model that does not require an energy supply. The weight of the arms is transferred to the hips via the forearm supports using mechanical cable pulling technology. Independent studies and Ottobock research have shown this reduces the peak load on the muscles and relieves shoulders by up to 47%.
