Innovation in woodworking!
The Zimmer Group has been one of the most innovative companies in the woodworking sector for over 25 years. In the 1990s and 2000s, we revolutionized the market, primarily as a think tank and OEM supplier, with groundbreaking solutions such as the world's first e-interface on the machining head. Today we deliver sophisticated high-tech products in the process chain with a focus on the highest flexibility, scalability and productivity. To do so, we use state-of-the-art development technologies and simulation methods—such as the digital twin—as a basis for designing and implementing complete production and assembly cells that feature maximum flexibility.
The basis for these innovative machine concepts includes a highly flexible, scalable transport module for workpiece transport. Individual transport units (shuttles) that can be controlled independently eliminate the need for fixed coupling of the transport with a continuous conveyor belt. Depending on the requirement, this makes it possible to set up an extremely agile and highly dynamic transport circulation with full scalability and any number of shuttles.
Interaction of components in complex plants
