Thanks to the robot integrated into »the roboSet 2«, it is possible to guarantee high tool throughput 24/7 without any human intervention. The robot handles even complex and time-consuming measurement tasks independently—ensuring maximum process reliability and measurement accuracy at all times. The integrated force-torque sensor also allows you to use shank tools reliably even in tight fits, such as in adapter sleeves.
 

The changeover of the intermediate sleeves is fully automatic. This makes it possible to measure and document different tool types within a single pallet management system and even within a single pallet.
 

Before the »roboSet 2« automation solution can begin its workflow, an operator simply needs to define the tool loading via the pallet management function in the »pilot 4.0« software. Thanks to the multi-pallet system (eight pallets as standard, with an optional ninth), high volumes can be processed and documented fully automatically. Overall, well-organized pallet management contributes significantly to process optimization, provides flexibility in handling different batch sizes, and helps move goods more efficiently and sustainably.
 

An integrated camera, which is available as an option, enables ZOLLER service personnel to resolve any irregularities that may arise more quickly and effectively.
 

In the upstream »roboClean« tool-edge cleaning system, the cutting edges of pre-cleaned shank tools are cleaned fully automatically in an ultrasonic bath and freed of dust. Air nozzles then dry the shank tools. This ensures accurate measurement results.
 

With the ZOLLER »roboMark« laser marking system, tools that have been measured within tolerance can be marked either on the shank circumference or at the shank end. The marking itself is customizable and offers a wide range of configuration options. QR or Data Matrix codes can also be applied with no additional effort and, when linked to the tool database, enable traceability of the respective tool.
 

»roboSet 2« performs automatic, contactless tool recognition. The tool is aligned accordingly so that it can be securely gripped by the robot and marked with »roboMark« in the correct position.
 

With automatic tool recognition, QR codes, DataMatrix codes, and similar codes are read using an integrated scanner. Through the interface with ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions, all information regarding the scanned tools is accessible, and links to external workstations (such as the regrinding counter) can also be established.
