Precision in manufacturing: How ZIMM produces

ZIMM operates a state-of-the-art, partially robot-assisted machinery fleet that enables flexible and efficient production. Across approximately 5,000 square meters of production space, more than 20 CNC-controlled machines are used for various processes such as milling, turning, and grinding. The combination of automation and precision manufacturing technology ensures high quality and short lead times.

What does a state-of-the-art machinery park mean at ZIMM?

ZIMM operates a machinery park that is partially equipped with robots or operated with robotic support. This enables flexible responses to varying production requirements. The technical setup allows both the efficient production of single units and the reliable manufacturing of larger production volumes.

Which production capabilities result from this setup?

ZIMM is capable of manufacturing small batch sizes within short lead times as well as producing large series efficiently. Depending on demand, production is carried out in multi-shift operation or on a 24/7 basis.

How is the production area at ZIMM structured?

Across a production area of approximately 5,000 square meters, ZIMM operates more than 20 state-of-the-art, computer-controlled production machines. The following machining operations are performed in-house:

• cutting
• milling
• turning
• gear cutting
• grinding

How does the manufacturing process affect accuracy and lead times?

Several machining steps at ZIMM are carried out within a single setup. Changing between different machines is therefore not required. This results in higher manufacturing accuracy while simultaneously enabling very efficient production times.
