Automation with ZELL workpiece carrier systems

Efficient material handling for robotics, mechanical engineering & logistics

Industrial automation thrives on standardization, process reliability and high repeat accuracy. Workpiece carriers from ZELL are designed to efficiently support automated processes - from robot-assisted loading of machines, to controlled material flow between production steps, to intelligent warehouse logistics with Autostore systems.

Field-proven applications for maximum efficiency

ZELL systems are used wherever components have to be handled, positioned and transported automatically - e.g. in:

  • Automated loading & unloading of CNC machines (e.g. GROB, DMG Mori)
  • Separation and handling by pick & place robots
  • Cleaning processes in systems from Pero, Eccoclean or iFP
  • Picking and storage in Autostore systems
  • Conveyor lines with identification & transfer to subsequent processes

ZELL: Compatible with all leading robotics platforms

Our workpiece carriers are standardized and modular in design - they fit perfectly into existing automation processes and can be combined with systems from leading robotics manufacturers:

ABB
KUKA
Fanuc
Epson
✅ and many more

Integrators and machine builders benefit from fast integration, high reliability and low customization effort.

Your advantages in the automation environment

🔧 Modular & customizable

Every ZELL carrier is tailor-made for your component and your process - whether small series or line production, whether filigree electronics or robust metal components.

⚡ Standardization increases the degree of automation

Consistent positioning and repeatable interfaces allow robots, palletizers and conveyors to work precisely - without any additional reloading.

📦 Perfect for returnable logistics

ZELL workpiece carriers can be used as inlays in all standard reusable containers (e.g. KLT, Euroboxes) and are stackable with the usual logistics sizes - ideal for automated warehousing and return processes.

📍 Traceability included

Our systems can be equipped with RFID, DMC or laser codes - for seamless component tracking and seamless integration into MES/ERP systems.
