Your benefits:

  • Essential assemblies in tooling machines, milling centers or predestined for robot use
  • Specially sealed products for use in the most adverse environmental conditions
  • Compliance with proven safety principles for a safe working environment for the user and the machine
  • 3D and rotary machining of workpiece and material
  • Fluid- or water-cooled motor spindles for low and high performance range
  • Wide range of modular construction systems in various performance classes and designs for machining

Broad product portfolio

The Zimmer Group offers a wide product range of individual components for manufacturers of machining centers, ranging from the motor spindle as a machining component to zero-point clamping systems and pallet changers for automation solutions through to clamping elements and shock absorbers to increase the performance of the machine. 


Focus story: Maximum performance for metal processing

With their steel/steel guide, the grippers in the 5000 series feature lasting precision, robustness and durability with maintenance intervals of up to 30 million gripping cycles. Thanks to the sealed guides, the universal grippers achieve a degree of protection of up to IP67 and are therefore also suitable for use in dirty environments. The Dutch company TEQQ also relies on the proven end effectors for its cobots for metal processing.
