Conventional industrial robots

The success story started in the early 1960s with the area of conventional industrial robots. Since then, the technology has evolved rapidly. Robots became simpler, more versatile and more reliable in installation, programming and maintenance. Zimmer Group launched the world's first mass-produced gripper in 1980 and has played a key role in the area of end-of-arm tools ever since.

startZ is one of the easiest options for turning your idea for a robot application into a reality in no time at all. All the necessary components are located in a single box. Everything is integrated, including the gripper, communication module with intuitive operating software and tools.

Configuration levels

Robot flange

For mechanical connection to the follow-on tools. The energy supply for the components installed on the robot flange is arranged internally or externally, depending on the robot type. Control signals as well as pneumatic, electric and hydraulic media can be passed through this.

Robot flange adapter plate – Multi-function level

Adapter plate between specific robot flange and ISO partial mounting circle.

Multi-function level

Multi-function components with ISO partial mounting circle for changing, compensating, protecting and executing. Energy elements for signal transmission and media transfer are also available for the tool changers.
