Reinventing Yourself Pays Off

Model, tool, and die makers must deliver perfect quality at competitive prices under increasing deadline pressure in order to prevail against strong global competition. Zimmermann is responding to this market condition with the newly developed FZP machine line. These 5-axis portal milling machines are customizable, space-saving, and extremely thermostable. These features are ensured by the new thermo-symmetrical design with a center-guided Z-slide. Daniel Demlang, technical director at Zimmermann, explains the advantages for the user. “An evolution is a progressive process. A revolution, by contrast, is a fundamental and lasting structural change of a system—this is exactly what we have done with the development of our new FZP machine line,” reports Zimmermann Technical Director Daniel Demlang.
