YOUR BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

Flexibility at the point of use: Compact size enables free and mobile positioning in the production situation.
Intuitive operation: Easy commissioning and convenient operation via the robot-neutral Human Machine Interface (HMI).
Boost productivity and quality: Cost-effective acquisition and fast integration optimize your production processes.
Variable configuration: Choose from a wide portfolio of accessories, tailored to your specific requirements.

Flexible and mobile process automation

ZiMo's compact design gives you universal use and free positioning, ideal for small batch sizes and flexible workstations. No matter where within your plant you need support from the cobot, ZiMo can be used without the need for any complex connection to your plant. The handling system thus offers you absolute freedom of use and versatile adaptation to your changing needs.

Easy start-up

You do not need any programming knowledge to commission ZiMo; the flexible robot cell can be set up and commissioned intuitively via the Zimmer HMI. This saves you valuable time and resources, and you can focus entirely on areas of production that offer real added value for your company.

Cost-effective automation

The low acquisition costs and rapid integration of the ZiMo into existing processes enable cost-effective automation even for small, medium and frequently changing batch sizes. Profit from faster cycle times and increased quality as well as productivity – whether you are dealing with semi-automated human-cobot collaboration or fully automated production processes.

VARIABLE STRUCTURE, VERSATILE APPLICATION

With a wide portfolio of available accessories and free choice of robot, you can adapt ZiMo to your individual needs. The variable set-up and fast changeover times guarantee maximum flexibility in your processes and enormous potential for modernizing your production processes. Expand the workbench of the flexible robot cell with components, with complete freedom according to your ideas and how they meet your requirements.
