Zimmer Group technology becomes part of the furniture

With more than 25 years of experience in the woodworking sector, and as one of the most innovative companies in this field, Zimmer Group now offers a comprehensive combination of sophisticated individual components, modular end-of-arm products, and complete turnkey systems capable of producing a wide range of woodworking and furniture products.

These innovative technologies, combined with Zimmer Group’s extensive experience make it possible for the company to design and build sophisticated fully automated production systems tailored to suit the particular requirements of the customer.

Zimmer Group’s turnkey systems incorporate multiple robotic handling, machining, and processing modules, including drill gears with fixed and extendable spindles, multifunctional units, project-specific designed modules, together with numerous attachment options to deliver the greatest possible flexibility.

Zimmer Group’s Modular Transport System (MTS) is at the heart of the solution and offers free positioning throughout the recirculating concept of the system.

These can also be dynamically configured as groups with flexible control of all shuttles either as a master or slave.

Thanks to its modularity, flexibility and scalability, the system can be used either as a transport system or a handling system. The transport modules take care of workpiece transfer between stations, with the speed of each individual shuttle or shuttle group capable of being set individually.

The independently controlled transport units can be used as masters or slaves, depending
