Robot-independent
ZiMo can be used as a platform independent of any specific robot and can integrate a wide range of common robot manufacturers. Its alignment and positioning on the work surface is flexible.
Application-specific end-of-arm tools (EOAT)
With over 40 years of experience, Zimmer offers a wide range of grippers, vacuum components, and the modular MATCH end-of-arm ecosystem. This allows ZiMo to be optimally adapted to individual applications – flexible, reliable, and future-proof.
Integration and communication
Our Beckhoff PLC is the ideal solution for integrating various options in communication with machines and especially in the field of safety technology. This means you are perfectly prepared and can get started immediately. For simple control of Zimmer Group components, you get full access to our PLC function blocks.
Maximum level of safety
ZiMo is optionally equipped with two safety scanners and enables safe operation without protective fencing in an industrial application. With this option, safe integration into the peripherals of external machines is possible.
Tool tray
For automatic tool changes, you can configure a tool changing station according to your requirements. Compatible with the tool changers of the LWR and FWR series.
Connection to production machines
ZiMo can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems – with interfaces such as IO-Link, Euromap 67, pneumatic connections, and digital fieldbuses.

Automation for every application

Flexible for all production scenarios

As a mobile, modular system platform, ZiMo1000 connects humans, machines, and robots into an end-to-end automation solution. In-house integration services, project-specific adaptations, and individual extensions can be specifically built on the platform. This enables fundamentally different application scenarios – from repetitive loading and unloading of machine tools and machine tending, to logistics and pick & place processes, and all the way to complex assembly tasks with increased safety requirements. The Platform Kit takes over monotonous activities with low to high repetition cycles, ensuring maximum process reliability and precision.

This makes it possible to standardize and automate production processes in a cost-effective way, while skilled workers are specifically deployed for value-adding tasks. You benefit from a scalable system solution that can be individually adapted to new projects, plant structures, and customer requirements.
 

PICK & PLACE
Passive distributors simplify communication with external peripherals (e.g. conveyor belts for pick & place tasks).
Workpiece removal
Optional interfaces (digital safety IOs, Euromap 67) enable flexible machine loading and unloading.
WORKPIECE HANDLING
Flexible adaptation to the respective workpiece thanks to a comprehensive ecosystem of grippers ranging from standard to long-stroke, as well as suction and vacuum components.
COLLABORATIVE ASSEMBLY
The optional safety scanners as well as the choice of cobots and HRC grippers ensure maximum safety for collaborative operations.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
During inspection, trimming, or marking, the customized integration of camera technology ensures quality.
PACKAGING
Mechanical accessories such as SLC racks enable automated packaging.
(DE-)PALLETIZING
Common intralogistics tasks, such as palletizing goods, can also be implemented with ZiMo without any problems.
