Through grinding, ZIMM achieves the highest surface quality and dimensional accuracy. This results in:

- Improved smooth running of gears
- Reduced wear
- Longer service life of the components

The grinding process is generally more complex and cost-intensive. With state-of-the-art technologies and many years of experience, ZIMM compensates for this additional effort and ensures economical results.
