AUDIO GUIDE
1. Processing with Raptor
Woodworking with precision
The woodworking robot Raptor was developed specifically for the woodworking industry and performs precise cutting, shaping, grinding, and painting tasks. Its use helps increase efficiency and reduce costs, as it performs complex tasks quickly, precisely, and in a more space-saving manner than gantry machines. Raptor has a multifunctional head with 2 flanges, a quick-change interface for fast tool changes, and features impressive internal energy guidance.

2. Transport with AMRs
Autonomous mobile robot Miles
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are revolutionizing woodworking and increasing efficiency in numerous areas. The autonomous mobile robot Miles from Zimmer Group optimizes your intralogistics and makes the transport of goods and materials more efficient than ever before. Miles with a lifting unit offers a wide range of customer-specific customization options that can handle almost any challenge. The parts to be transported can be flexibly adapted. Despite its small size and compact design, the system, equipped with a lift, can transport loads of up to 3,500 kg.

3. System for drilling work
Robot-based machining center
The highly flexible, innovative production line for machining furniture fronts in batch size 1 combines a highly flexible shuttle system with precision-compensated industrial robots. The shuttle system serves as an efficient workpiece transport and clamping system and enables precise and smooth machining. Precision-compensated industrial robots perform the drilling and ensure maximum accuracy.

4. Transport with shuttle system
The Modular Transport System is a modular, flexible, fully scalable transport and handling system with a master/slave and recuperation function that combines transport, processing, and quality assurance functions in an almost ideal way. Depending on the requirements profile, the actual transport route can be flexibly enhanced with loading robots, measuring and plausibility checking stations, processing robots, transfer devices, and assembly stations. The high degree of flexibility is due in no small part to the reconfigurability of the overall system and the independently operating functional units.

5. System for sorting workpieces
Robot-based sorting machine
In addition to drilling work, Zimmer Systems implements applications for sorting furniture parts. These cells are integrated into an overall process, or can also be used as stand-alone applications. Modern sorting concepts enable powerful and adaptable material flow control. The systems are designed for throughput rates of 2.0 to 25.0 parts per minute and ensure efficient sorting.
