And we can always fully rely on our Zimmermann machines.“
Application Areas
Vehicle design
In the vehicle design field in particular, it is necessary to achieve precise results and outstanding surface quality. Because here every little detail counts. And wherever functional, ergonomic and esthetic geometries are required, milling machines made by Zimmermann will surpass your expectations. Because Zimmermann’s milling solutions work to minimal tolerances that maximize the precision of the resulting products. Alongside the customized working areas that permit the 1:1 machining of vehicle models, the small interfering contours of the Zimmermann milling heads also play a central role. With our machines, your visions become a reality.
Prototype construction
From composites to steel – Zimmermann’s versatile machine concepts make it possible to handle a huge range of different materials. Depending on the type of application and intended use, we will work with you to configure an appropriate milling solution that guarantees you all the performance you need. Thanks to our many years of experience in both the dry and wet machining of aluminum and composites, you can rely on Zimmermann’s milling solutions to deliver high-precision results. And always to be exceptionally economical within the context of the overall milling process.
Model making and mold making
With Zimmermann’s milling solutions, model and mold makers give form to the first draft designs of a product. Whether the demand is for individual parts or small series – whenever outstanding precision is required, Zimmermann is the solution. And has been for more than 60 years. Thanks to the close partnership between Zimmermann and all its customers, the company has been able to closely address the needs of the industry from the day it was founded and develop the corresponding milling solutions. And that is as true today as it always has been.
Tool making
Whenever complex tools have to be manufactured, Zimmermann’s milling solutions are the perfect answer for your application. To meet the growing demands of the industry, it is necessary to supply milling solutions of outstanding versatility for the machining of different materials such as zamak, steel and cast iron. The use of motor spindles, combined with powerful torque motors in the rotation axes of Zimmermann’s milling machines, makes it possible to achieve high-precision results in a record time.
Jig and gage construction
Large working areas, maximized surface quality and outstanding precision – whenever you need outstanding precision for your jig and gage construction activities, Zimmermann can supply an unrivalled range of machines. The low-wear, rack-and-pinion drive technology and great structural stability ensure an optimum milling process. The additional component cooling guarantees that the temperature is held constant – you can always rely on the quality of Zimmermann’s milling solutions for a vast range of different materials.
Cubing
The high level of mechanical precision of all Zimmermann milling solutions means that they are particularly suitable for the production of many different types of cubing models. With Zimmermann’s high-precision milling machines, there is no need to rework any parts. This has a massive impact on the overall machining time and permits the high-speed production of top-quality, high-precision models. Based on our many years of experience in the field of clamping technology, we will work with you to develop the optimum machine concept for your application.
