In the manufacturing of optical components and sensitive materials such as technical ceramics, glass components, or laser elements, surface protection, particle freedom, and exact positioning are essential. Even the smallest contaminations or mechanical stresses can render high-precision workpieces unusable.
The part carriers and cleaning systems from ZELL are specially designed for these requirements. Whether in manufacturing, cleaning, assembly or in-house transport – they ensure contamination-free, reproducible and damage-free component handling.

✅ Manufacturing & transport of glass lenses, prisms, mirrors
✅ Handling of laser cutting heads, beam shapers, optics modules
✅ Machining & cleaning of ceramic carriers or sapphire substrates
✅ Intermediate buffering of optical mounts, modules & coating blanks
✅ Cleanroom-compatible processes in high-precision assembly
ZELL systems are used in areas where highest precision and absolutely reliable process control are required – for example, in:

Depending on the application, we recommend starting with our "Factory" workpiece carriers, as these can be configured both as inserts for Euro containers and as standalone functional carriers. More demanding applications are better suited to our reinforced "Carrier" or "Stainless Steel" carriers.
Yes, all carriers are washable. Samples can be provided for specific critical process parameters.
Yes, all workpiece carriers are compatible with automation systems, form a defined matrix, and can therefore be configured for robotic use. Components are arranged in such a way that grippers can be positioned accordingly. Because the carriers are designed to be cleanable, they are slightly heavier; therefore, their weight and center of gravity must be taken into account when handling the entire carrier.
Our plastic carriers operate reliably over extended periods at temperatures of approximately 60–70°C, and in some cases even at significantly higher temperatures during short cycles. Our stainless steel carriers—particularly the GRID carriers—can be used in furnaces at temperatures up to 1,200°C. For additional specifications, please refer to our material data sheets.
Yes, all plastic components can be manufactured with an antistatic additive. See also the data sheet in the Downloads section.
Yes, ZELL can custom-manufacture component holders, as well as entire workpiece carriers or inlays for containers, as a single injection-molded component. We typically start by reviewing the more than 1,300 available variants using our ZELL configurator; if no satisfactory solution is found there, customers can work with our engineering team to develop a “new clip.” These can be tested in 3D and as prototypes before the corresponding injection mold is manufactured.
