Efficient handling in production with modular workpiece carriers

Less waste. Faster processes. Better handovers.

Short cycle times, stable processes and minimal waste are what count in every production facility today. Hidden costs can quickly arise, especially when handling components - whether manually or automatically - due to damaged parts, components that are difficult to grip, repackaging work or unnecessary downtime.

ZELL workpiece carrier systems offer a robust, standardized solution here. Whether for employees on the line or for robots in the automation cell: the component is always correct, protected and within reach - throughout the entire process.

Handling advantages - straight to the point

‍

Why modular? - Less effort for variants and new start-ups

ZELL pursues a modular concept: the base carriers are standardized, the brackets (clips/multiclips) can be exchanged. This means

⚙️ New components do not need a new carrier - just a new clip

📦 Variant production without conversion of conveyor technology or machine feed

♻️ Reusability = less purchasing, less waste

‍

One system for the entire material flow

Production managers particularly appreciate the fact that ZELL Träger:

• can be used throughout - no repacking between stations
• are compatible with machines from well-known manufacturers - e.g. DMG Mori, Hermle, EMAG, Grob
• can also have RFID/DMC integrated - for direct MES or test coupling

This saves time and improves process control - without additional interfaces.

Your advantages at a glance

‍

Modular workpiece carriers are not packaging - they are part of your production system.

They help to stabilize your line, reduce waste and relieve personnel - and at the same time create the basis for automation and traceability.

What is standardized is easier to scale.
