Workpiece carriers for industrial assembly

Process-reliable, automatable & visually differentiable - ZELL systems for maximum efficiency

In modern assembly processes, precision is not everything - cycle time, variant diversity and traceability are also decisive for economic efficiency. Whether manual pre-assembly, semi-automated lines or fully integrated systems for OEMs: ZELL workpiece carriers and modular clip systems allow assembly processes to be standardized, accelerated and reliably automated.

Why ZELL in assembly?

✔ Avoid errors - ✔ Reduce cycle times - ✔ Visually separate variants

• Precise component pick-up ensures clear positioning - manual or automated
• Less reloading = less waste, less handling effort
• Clips in any number of colors enable visual variant differentiation - directly on the wearer
• Modular design facilitates quick conversion when changing models
• Compatible with robots, palletizers, pick & place, inspection stations

Use in practice: Automotive assembly with a system

ZELL workpiece carriers are used, for example, by Tier 2 suppliers for the assembly of mechanical and electronic components, including:

• Sensor carriers, plug-in connections, carrier plates
• Actuators, housing parts, hybrid assemblies
• Seat components, lights, steering modules

These assemblies are delivered just-in-time or just-in-sequence to OEMs such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Ford - directly on the carrier, without repackaging.

Perfect for manual & automated assembly

🔧 Manual assembly: ergonomic & error-proof

• Precise position detection reduces errors
• Non-slip component fixing, ergonomic removal
• Visual variant identification with colored clip sets

🤖 Automated assembly: robot-ready & standardized

• Grip-safe component positioning for pick & place
• Stackable and indexed for conveyor lines
• Compatible with camera inspection, robotics, screwing stations

Continuous material flow - without reloading

With ZELL workpiece carriers, your components accompany the entire production process:

1. Pre-assembly
2. Cleaning (optional in the same carrier)
3. Just-in-time delivery for final assembly
4. Testing or packaging station
5. Return to production - as part of a closed reusable system
