GRIPPER SYSTEMS AND EOAT FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
The increasingly dynamic production processes in today’s automotive industry require more and more flexibility from the production and manufacturing plants. A growing variety of models and constant reductions in product life cycles require gripper systems that adapt automatically to new situations in a variant change or which can be adapted or swapped out efficiently in the event of a model change.
With 30 years of experience, around 1 million hours of development and more than 3,000 grippers in this industry, we have the necessary expertise to meet these requirements. Nearly all well-known automotive manufacturers and their suppliers and system integrators already trust Zimmer Group gripping systems to handle their powertrain components and drivetrain components safely. Many of these earlier “special grippers” have now become standard EOAT solutions. Visit our system showroom
