Short setup times and high machine uptime: these are the two most important factors for increasing the productivity of your machine tools. A tool presetter determines all key data in advance and transfers it to the machine without errors.
To operate with precision, CNC machine tools require exact tool geometry data. If this tool data is determined in advance and outside the CNC machine, it can be loaded without delay when the tool is inserted.
Electronic data transfer from the presetter to the machine tool not only prevents typing errors and other transmission issues, but is also completed in a matter of seconds. This not only reduces setup time to a minimum, but the setup time for the new tool is effectively zero—and in this way, you maximize tool life.
Preset Device – The Benefits
- Setup and tooling time are separated: Tools can be prepared while the CNC machine tool is still running—this can even take place in separate locations if it simplifies or speeds up the work processes.
- No setup time: Thanks to the electronic transfer of the prepared tool data, the machine control system receives the correct information without delay and without errors
- Increased process reliability: No more errors from manual setup thanks to fully electronic data transfer directly from the presetting device to the CNC machine.
- Quality from the very first part: Your machines, perfectly supplied with data, produce top results from the very first workpiece and generate no scrap. With precisely measured tools, there are also no crashes or interruptions.
- Longer tool life: Thanks to minimized setup and adjustment times, the machine can operate more effectively and productively. With regular monitoring of cutting edge quality in the presetting device, top quality is always ensured
Work better, more effectively, and more productively with ZOLLER presetting devices
ZOLLER tool presetting machines are designed to handle any application.
Our measuring devices operate on modular systems, allowing you to assemble the right solutions for every requirement. They can be configured with appropriate measuring methods for different parameters and tools—whether for fully automatic or manual measurement. The result is always a precision measurement.
The intuitive user interface is extremely simple, safe, and convenient to use. Among other features, the devices offer automatic tool edge detection, a one-hand control handle for easy slide adjustment, and a membrane keypad for power-operated spindle clamping and spindle locking.
Direct electronic transfer of tool data—making input errors a thing of the past—is, of course, possible with all devices. ZOLLER presetting devices offer various options for secure data transfer to the machine—whether for SMEs or large enterprises, whether for Heller, Index, or other machine manufacturers.
In addition, there are simple options for importing and exporting tool data and other features.
