Presetting & Measuring

Save costs and increase safety with tool default settings

In order to manufacture parts with precision, modern CNC machine tools require exact tool geometry data. With the tool presetter, you can determine the tool data outside of the machine, saving a lot of setup time. When the tool is inserted, you can immediately import the tool data from the tool presetter. The data transfer to the machine is performed electronically and is therefore completely error-free, as typing errors and transmission errors are eliminated.

Tool Management

Good reasons to produce in a more economically efficient manner

  • Reduce setup times: The right tool is always in the right place at the right time. Data output in controller format avoids input errors on the machine and the resulting costs.
  • Find instead of search: You always know which tools are available for which machines and where they
    are located.
  • Better organization: Planned processes with calculable cycle times and efficient checks ensure efficient process management and thus short response times. Autonomous production units can be integrated and organized.
  • Avoid machine downtime: All tools are always available, 24 hours a day. Using the correct tools on the machines prevents collisions and avoids tool breakage.
  • Guarantee quality: High system availability and transparent, stable production processes guarantee the highest quality.
  • Save storage costs: You can see which tools are used how often and order only what is actually needed.
  • Exploit tool potential: Optimal cutting speeds and feeds increase tool life.
  • Increase productivity: Optimized tool circulation ensures short lead times and fully utilized machines, increasing productivity and reducing manufacturing costs.

Data Transfer

Secure and fast data transfer

Data exchange between individual production elements is essential for modern industrial manufacturing. ZOLLER software solutions guarantee fast, reliable transmission of tool data at all times – regardless of manufacturer or platform.

Inspection & Measuring

Measuring machines ensure precise manufacturing

In order for tools to do exactly what they were constructed to do, they must be manufactured with precision. With our universal measuring machines, tools can be measured with micrometer accuracy and checked to ensure they correspond to the requirements.

Automation

Automation solution for tool measurement

Whether in the tool grinding shop or when preparing, providing, and setting up tools, automating daily tasks will be the answer to this challenge. ZOLLER provides the right solution for automated tool handling for every task. Depending on the requirements, the solution can lie in a closed system with additional modules, a complex automation concept, or collaborative robot support in the tool room.

Tool Heat Shrink Technology

Short setup times thanks to the use of a shrink device

For many drilling and milling tools, tool shrink fitting is the fastest and most precise method of clamping the tool. With a suitable shrink station, the necessary step|work sequences can be carried out easily; a shrink fitting machine can automate these steps to a large extent and at the same time guarantee process reliability through appropriate measurements.

Tool Balancing Technology

Balancing grinding wheels and tools? Important and simple!

Finely balanced tools are extremely important for modern cutting machines. Unbalances in grinding wheels, in your tools, and in tool systems cause wear and tear or even damage to spindles and motors—not to mention rejects in the workpieces. Regular balancing prevents downtime, ensures quality, and reduces your overall costs.

Optimize the tool life of your cutting tools

The longer the tool life of a cutting tool, the lower the cost of this tool and the more effectively it can work. If you know the most important factors that influence tool life, it is easier to optimize them.

How you can check and optimize the tool life of your tool


how and why?

Nowadays, almost no machine or system manufactures just one product—they are usually converted for different products as required. This results in setup times during which the machine generally produces nothing.

Why optimize setup time?
