Save Costs and Improve Safety with Tool Presetting
To manufacture parts with precision, modern CNC machine tools require exact tool geometry data. Using the tool presetter, you can determine the tool data outside the machine, thereby saving a significant amount of setup time. When the tool is inserted, the tool data is immediately read from the tool presetter. Data is transferred to the machine electronically, ensuring complete accuracy since typing errors and transmission errors are eliminated.

Tool Management
Good reasons to produce in a more cost-effective way
- Reduce setup times: The right tool is always in the right place at the right time. Control-compatible data output prevents input errors at 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 workflows with predictable cycle times and efficient monitoring ensure efficient process management and thus short response times. Self-sufficient 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 manufacturing processes guarantee the highest quality.
- Save on storage costs: You can see which tools are used and how often, and order only what is actually needed.
- Maximize tool potential: Optimal cutting speeds and feed rates increase tool life.
- Increasing productivity: An optimized tool cycle ensures short lead times and fully utilized machines, boosting productivity and reducing manufacturing costs.

Testing & Measurement
Measuring machines ensure precise manufacturing
To ensure that tools perform exactly as intended, they must themselves be manufactured with precision. Our universal measuring machines allow tools to be measured with micrometer precision and checked to ensure they meet specifications.
Automation
Automation solution for tool measurement
Whether in the tool grinding shop or during the preparation, provision, and setup of 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 range from a closed system with additional modules to a complex automation concept or collaborative robot support in the tool room.

Shrink wrapping
Short setup times thanks to the use of a shrink wrapper
For many drilling and milling tools, tool shrink-fitting is the fastest and most precise method of clamping the tool. With a suitable shrink-fitting station, the necessary steps can be easily carried out; a shrink-fitting machine can largely automate this process while ensuring process reliability through appropriate measurements.
Balancing technique
Balancing grinding wheels and tools? Important and easy!
Precision-balanced tools are of paramount importance for modern machining centers. Imbalances in grinding wheels, tools, and tooling systems can cause wear or even damage to spindles and motors—and, not least, lead to scrap in workpieces. Regular balancing prevents downtime, ensures quality, and reduces your overall costs.
