Efficient handling in production with modular part carriers

Less scrap. Faster processes. Better transfers.

In modern manufacturing, the focus is on short cycle times, stable processes, and minimal waste. Particularly in component handling – whether manual or automated – hidden costs can quickly arise due to damaged parts, poorly accessible components, repackaging efforts, or unnecessary downtime.

ZELL Part 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 correctly positioned, protected, and accessible – throughout the entire process.

Handling advantages – clearly to the point

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

ZELL follows a modular concept: The basic carriers are standardized, and the mounts (clips/multiclips) are interchangeable. This means:

⚙️ New components do not require a new carrier – only a new clip

📦 Variant Production without Conversion of Conveyor Technology or Machine Feeding

♻️ Reusability = less purchasing, less waste

‍

A system for the entire material flow

Production managers particularly appreciate that ZELL carriers:

• can be used continuously – 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 benefits at a glance

‍

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

You help to stabilize your line, reduce scrap, relieve personnel – and at the same time create the basis for automation and traceability.

What is standardized can be scaled more effectively.
