Measure economically in series with »roboSet 2«

Automated measurement, economical production - Mauth relies on ZOLLER »roboSet 2«

Mauth Werkzeug-Schleiftechnik GmbH in Oberndorf am Neckar benefits from the unattended, automated measurement of special tools in small and medium-sized series.

As Michael Mauth says, he always focuses on innovative technologies. Michael Mauth recently integrated TELA Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH in Horb into his company as a sister company. There, a further 25 specialists mainly manufacture special tools with PCD and CBN cutting edges as well as individually designed gear cutting tools and tool holders, for example for gear cutting large gear wheels for wind turbines.

Profitable: Thanks to automation with the »roboSet 2« robot cell, tool grinders measure special tools produced in series particularly economically.

Suitable measuring technology

In his opinion, measuring methods and measuring devices that are also used in manufacturing companies to measure and adjust tools are ideal for measuring tools close to production. "Such measuring devices are designed to be robust for use in production. They also provide the measurement data that users of the special tools determine and verify in production," he reports.

This is why the specialists in Oberndorf measure the geometries of the special tools immediately after grinding on three »genius« tool inspection and presetting machines and a »smartCheck« measuring machine from ZOLLER, among others. "We opted for this manufacturer because the measuring machines and the software are very closely aligned with the company's practice. The specialists in Pleidelsheim know and take into account the requirements of the production technicians," says Michael Mauth. This makes measuring the tools much easier, especially for personnel who are mainly involved in grinding.

Without extensive knowledge of measuring technology, the specialists can use the ZOLLER measuring machines to record and assess whether the ground special tools meet the specifications within a very short time. Operation is also very simple. Operators are guided consistently and reliably through the measuring process using easy-to-understand graphics, useful icons and logically sequenced menus.

Focus on special geometries: The specialists at Mauth Werkzeug-Schleiftechnik GmbH develop and manufacture special tools for drilling, reaming, milling, grooving, turning and gear cutting for manufacturing companies all over the world.

Practice-oriented

Michael Mauth confirms the economic benefits of the »roboSet 2« robot cell in conjunction with a »genius« measuring device from ZOLLER. He is also impressed by the excellent cooperation with the specialists at ZOLLER. "The technicians and engineers at ZOLLER always have an open ear and take into account the wishes and requirements of users in practice. They are very interested in optimizing the presetting and measuring machines for the users," he says, assessing the performance of the Pleidelsheim-based manufacturer.
