Applications

Carbon fiber

Zimmermann’s gantry machines and horizontal machining centers handle carbon fiber materials with outstanding precision. In particular when the task involves the squaring, drilling or milling of composite materials, skin machining or the manufacture of structural components. Alongside the precision that is required when machining carbon fiber, another vital factor is minimizing the deposition of hazardous dusts around the machine. To meet this specific need, Zimmermann has developed concepts that extract the hazardous dusts that are produced during machining. In this way, the extraction hoods located directly at the milling head ensure an optimized, safe milling process.
