Description
The Ottobock shoulder is the next generation of Paexo passive exoskeletons for work at or above chest level. It is envisioned to be used in logistics, manufacturing, and maintenance during overhead tasks. The product was officially introduced in April 2022:Â Unvailing the Ottobock Shoulder Passive Exoskeleton for Overhead Work. The Ottobock Shoulder V2 replaces the Paexo Shoulder, which was first revealed in 2018. The Ottobock Shoulder combines the feedback of thousands of users (some mentioned were: Toyota North America, Airbus, Boeing, and SNCF) and the know-how of suitX (Ottobock Acquires suitX, Nov 2021).
Peripherals:
The Ottobock Shoulder can be combined with an integrated neck support attachment (Paexo Neck), a fire-rated Shoulder Jacket, and a strap for tools. The Paexo Shoulder is also compatible with fall protection harnesses.

- Labeled and intuitive, tool-free size adjustments and torque tuning.
- Color coding: green means adjust every day and go.
