Producing precise contours on stone slabs is time-consuming because diamond tools must be dressed regularly. But that is exactly where the potential for process optimization lies. ZOLLER has the right technologies to significantly reduce the time required to achieve perfect results through tool measurement, inspection, and cleaning.
Typically, diamond tools are dressed after 150 to 200 meters of stone processing. This often results in the loss of several hours of valuable production time per machine and shift. Those who know the exact condition of their tools can significantly reduce this immense time investment and secure greater production capacity.
With ZOLLER’s precision instruments, you gain comprehensive insights into tool condition with µm-level accuracy. You can determine the values of numerous tool geometries and exactly enter the contours. Using the data obtained, you can optimize process parameters such as the material removal rate. This paves the way for perfect edge quality, long tool life, and significantly increased machine uptime—unbeatable competitive advantages.
Preparing Stone Tools for Mass Production
All tools, from coarse grinding to fine polishing, are entered sequentially in a single process; the contours are automatically compared, and deviations are displayed immediately. ZOLLER devices optimize measurement and correction values in relation to one another and can also handle automated data transfer directly to the CN control—without repeated set up. This ensures that the entire tool set adjusts perfectly, significantly reducing both setup time and machine downtime. The finished edges: simple excellent!
