Customer quotes

Grinding and polishing of metal parts

Mr. Hakki Dogan,
CEO Nurhak Metallbearbeitung/Velbert

„We have tried a few competitor products in the past. The GP5000 from Zimmer is clearly better!
Other grippers wore out quickly and the gripping force diminished. Then they were no longer process-safe.
The steel-on-steel guide is very low-wear and the plastic seal does not allow dirt to penetrate.“

Production of cylinder locks

Mr. Hans-Stefan Csulits,
CEO Heitec Auerbach GmbH & Co KG

„The durability of the grippers in adverse environments such as milling, drilling or broaching, both wet and dry, in our machines allows us to achieve the required process reliability. The freedom from maintenance of up to 30 million cycles saves our customers enormous maintenance and servicing costs, thereby guaranteeing higher machine output with lower production costs.“

Loading and unloading handling of processing machines

Mr. Karsten Krug,
Mitec Automotive AG

„On existing loading and unloading handling systems of our machining centres, we have replaced existing grippers with grippers from the Zimmer Group's 5000 product family. Since then, the applications have been running smoothly and absolutely reliably.“
