How do we accomplish a reliable result with minimum effort in the shortest possible time? That is the question our customers ask us day by day. Our answer: We look into the latest technologies and we combine new advancements with the long-lasting experience in the interaction of hardware and software. The result: well-engineered technology that is full of ideas. Technology that guarantees high quality in your production line.
We set off in January 1985: Alfred Zimmer and Klaus Kreim started developing Zimmer+Kreim's first cavity sinking machine. That very year they presented our first novelty on the world market at the EMO in Hannover, Germany: the then unique electrode plate changer for the EROWA clamping system. Since then, technology has advanced rapidly, but our basic principle stayed the same: We are always searching for ready-to-use solutions that offer the optimum basis for an error-free, efficient work process. No matter if it is for our customers in mold and tool construction or for those producing semifinished parts. We know that reliability is not just a question of cost. Reliability also ensures that you can deliver properly even under time pressure in order to be able to stand your ground in the face of your competitors.
Success is our best piece of evidence: since we went into business, our company has grown continuously. Today we are Germany's market leader in the area of cavity sinking machines and the world market leader in the area of handling-system technology. All around the world our customers are convinced by the high performance of our technological developments. Let us name a few milestones: the ZK 1200 in portal structure with a then unique drive train concept, the ZUKIS identification system, the PROSYS process control system for Windows
or the now well-established controller generation genius. We introduced a new dimension of automated production in 2004 when we presented the genius 700 cavity sinking machine and the Chameleon handling system.
In what way we are
different from others
We take responsibility for all aspects of your production line’s organization. We do not only provide you with the individual components of maximum quality, but we also make sure that these components work together in an optimum manner. We know that you need flexible solutions today that will allow you to make efficient use of your resources tomorrow.
You might have guessed already: we believe that a good customer relationship has its base mainly in profound counseling and in partnership. We do not sell products off the rack, but we specifically commit ourselves to your individual needs. That is why our products are consequently designed on a modular basis: you will never have to buy unneeded parts, as you will always be able to upgrade your system in the future. It’s because we give so much attention to our customers that we often spot trends before others do. Our team of engineers – experts with a lot of experience – then implements these impulses.
Our development division is constantly searching for new ways to add new technologies to our portfolio. In doing so, we always focus on the development of modular components that will work together with existing products.Whatever the topic of our latest research may be, whatever machine we design: we do it all in Brensbach – a town located in the heart of Germany. Here, we centralized all of our divisions as well as our user- and training center. Because we believe in interchanging ideas without detours. And in our responsibility as a local employer. | Genius 1000 genius 1000 – The Cube stable, precise, large surface |
 | genius 1700 – powerful, accessible, warp resistant machines for demanding tasks: genius 1200 and genius 1700. They have both been built with a portal structure. Their rigid casings allow for highly precise operations even with very heavy work pieces. They come with simultaneously running drive trains, each equipped with measuring systems for the portal of the X-axis. Their advantage: They can handle bigger electrode dimensions as well as smaller sections of larger work pieces. In their respective classes, genius 1200 and genius 1700 range within the most space saving machines and they combine a clear-cut design with maximum stability. Both machines are equipped with a 5-axes CNC controller. They are suited for manual operation and for working with any of our handling-systems. Within our product range, genius 1700 offers the largest table and the highest travel lengths. It is mainly employed in large-mold construction: in processing the largest work pieces it realizes a degree of precision that can otherwise only be achieved with smaller machines.

 | genius 700 – fast, powerful, all-purpose Step into a new dimension of cavity sinking with genius 700. With high processing speed and reduced non-productive times it guarantees you the shortest possible job processing. The table / travel length ratio is currently unsurpassed in the market – the size of the table is used to its full capacity. And genius 700 enables you to enter the world of automation anytime and on a grand scale: it is especially adapted for working together with the Eagle changer or our Chameleon handling-system. genius 700 offers by far the greatest clearance between dielectric fluid and the table in its class, thus giving you yet another advantage in terms of flexibility. In addition, we have facilitated and accelerated the tracking of the dielectric fluid inside a reservoir that is infinitely adjustable. There is no need to worry about size, height or difficult tasks anymore: with genius 700 you can process a great bandwidth of work pieces. Thanks to its rigid construction, the moment of inertia of the C-axis equals 0.6 kgm2 and is thus significantly higher than that of all similar cavity sinking machines on the market. And that is how you can carry out even difficult cavity sinking processes with maximum precision. genius 700 has an rigid casting with pre-stressed rolling contact guides. The generator is integrated into the machine, effecting more clarity and less susceptibility to failure. The filter can be changed “on-the-fly.” All in all the features of genius 700 add up to a higher rate of operational availability. You want more information about the genius 700 series?

 | The handling-system Chameleon – modular, linear, fully automated You are looking for a trendsetting solution to ensure a safe, automated production process? We are offering Chameleon: the automation system that combines unrivalled adaptability and versatility with a reliable mounting process even when working with a variety of different types of machines. Chameleon will grow indefinitely with your demands and it will continue to handle several machines simultaneously. Chameleon is a handling-system that can be used universally, being suited for work pieces, electrodes and milling-tools. It is a stand-alone solution with open interfaces that can be employed in any periphery – independent of Zimmer&Kreim machines. Chameleon works in a technology-spanning way: All other machines that are part of your production process – e.g. milling or wire-cutting machines – can be integrated into the handling-system effortlessly. The different grippers – e.g. electrode grippers, milling grippers or pallet grippers – are operated by its control unit. Quality assurance and an increased flow-rate – these are the benefits in money's worth that Chameleon obtains in your production line: because Chameleon offers a fully automated identification system that quickly implements the changing process and thus significantly reduces changing times in permanent operation. Chameleon quickly mounts machines flexibly, i.e. horizontally or vertically, even during the work process, and thus facilitates stacking and sorting. And this gives you the advantage of shorter cycle times and improved adherence to delivery dates. You want more information about Chameleon? Just send a request to our marketing team. |
