Z-, X-axis manual/CNC - the high-precision and smooth-running linear axes are used for quick and fine positioning of the measuring optics to the tool cutting edge. Whether manually for spot checks using the »eQ« single-handed operating handle or CNC-controlled for fully automatic processes, they enable reliable, fast and convenient measurement.
Incident light cameraIncident light camera
Incident light camera with multi-LED segment illumination
Incident light camera with multi-LED segment illumination and CNC swivel device - for the inspection and automatic measurement of tool geometries on the circumference, in the chip space and on the face. Simply enter the target parameters in the measuring program dialog and each measured variable is automatically measured and logged: rake angle, clearance angle, groove contour, chamfer width and many other geometries. The high-performance LEDs, segmented into eight areas, are automatically controlled by the measuring system and ensure optimum illumination of the surface thanks to automatic intensity control - for high precision and repeat accuracy.

High-precision sensor technology
With ZOLLER »hobCheck« you can measure tactile and non-contact in transmitted light and incident light: Equipped with CNC-controlled swiveling optics carrier, electronic measuring probe, transmitted light and incident light image processing, parameters such as tooth profile, concentricity/wobble, pitch and many more can be measured automatically on hob cutters in accordance with DIN 3968.
Guaranteed accuracy
The demands in quality management are constantly increasing. That is why you must be able to rely on the constant measuring deviations of your machines. In ZOLLER measuring machines, high-precision calibration standards made of Borofloatglas® are used to determine the length measurement deviations in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 10360 standard. In accordance with this standard, at least three measuring sequences (25,326 relationships) are carried out. With this procedure, the accuracy of the ZOLLER measuring machines is documented in two dimensions and can be traced at any time.
Fact check for tools
Quality is measurable. That's why it's provable. For tool manufacturers and Grinders, there is a very simple way to provide hard evidence of tool quality: testing and measuring technology from ZOLLER.
Take exact samples right next to the grinding machine. Check the quality parameters for cutting edges and roughness with a precision of up to 0.1 µm. Have tool geometries analyzed automatically using over 100 parameters and create digital twins.
The ZOLLER Solution Inspection & Measuring proves what many claim: quality.
We stand for lived precision
Thanks to the intelligent combination of image processing technology, CNC axes and measuring probes, all important parameters can be measured fully automatically. The distortion-free measurement and inspection of tools with inclines and precision tools of all kinds makes ZOLLER »hobCheck« a universal genius.
