Woodworking tools
Zimmer Group has been one of the most innovative companies in the woodworking sector for over 30 years. In the 1990s and 2000s, we revolutionized the market with pioneering solutions, such as the world's first e-interface on the machining head, primarily as a think tank and OEM supplier. Today we deliver sophisticated high-tech products in the process chain with a focus on highest flexibility, scalability and productivity. To this end, we rely on the latest development technologies and simulation methods, such as the digital twin. Zimmer Group offers innovative end-of-arm products that are optimized for the application for the increasing use of robot technology in the machining of wood, materials similar to wood and composite materials. There are no limits to their flexibility.
- Modular end-of-arm tools for implementing a wide range of functions on the machining module
- Drilling units with fixed spindles
- Drilling units with extensible spindles
- Project-specific design for minimum space requirement and tool exchange effort
- Countless attachment options offer the greatest possible flexibility and freedom
Drilling gear with rigid spindles
We develop rigid drilling gearboxes for series drilling operations to get the most out of your drilling machine. The configuration and arrangement of the individual drill spindles can be freely selected. A central drive via all common machine interfaces drives all drill spindles simultaneously via gear wheels.
OUR KNOW-HOW – Your advantages
- Customized, rigid drilling gearboxes in various designs
- Machining of wood, composite materials, and plastics
- Repair and replacement drilling gearboxes for all common machine manufacturers
- Variable number and arrangement of spindles
Drill arrangement
Standardized modular system with variable spindle number and arrangement
Tool interface
Weldon drill holder Speed up to 3,000 rpm
Interfaces
Various machine interfaces for attachment to existing drives
Drilling gear with extendable spindles
Our high-quality drilling gearboxes with extendable spindles achieve maximum precision thanks to their monoblock design. The individually extendable drill quills lock positively in the extended position to achieve maximum forces and machining speeds. In addition to the interchangeable drill quills in the assembled state, these spindles offer many other sophisticated features in this product range.
OUR KNOW-HOW – Your advantages
- Customized, displayable drilling gearboxes in a wide variety of variations
- Machining of wood, composite materials, and plastics
- Various units for a wide range of machining operations (horizontal drilling unit, groove saw, Clamex, pot belt)
- Variable number and arrangement of spindles
Design
The monoblock design guarantees maximum precision and easy replacement of the drill spindles when installed.
Drill spindles
Drill spindles with Weldon mount, grid dimension 32 mm, speed up to 7,500 rpm.
Drive
A drive motor controlled centrally by a frequency converter drives the drill spindles and units via gear wheels.
Extension stroke
Drill spindles with 60 mm extension stroke and locking in extended position
