for inspecting and automatically measuring tool geometries on the circumference, in the cutting zone, and on the face. Simply enter the target parameters in the measurement program dialog, and every measurement parameter is automatically measured and logged: rake angle, clearance angle, groove contour, chamfer width, and many other geometries. The high-performance LEDs, segmented into eight zones, are automatically controlled by the measuring system and ensure optimal illumination of the surface through automatic intensity control—for high precision and repeatability.

guarantees μm-precision mounting and clamping of tools and holders of all types. Adaptation to many tool holder systems is ensured by the universal adapter holder change system. The CNC drive with autofocus and precise angle measurement system provides automatic focusing of the tool cutting edge and detection of the effective contour.
Transmission cameraTransmission camera
Transmitted-light camera with multi-LED illumination –
featuring high-quality, low-distortion optics and telecentric transmitted light, enabling μm-precise measurement of cutting edge contours and step geometry in shadow graphics with up to 5 Mpx. The camera has a high frame rate for fast focusing and contour capture during tool rotation. The multi-LED ring light ensures bright, high-contrast illumination for cutting edge inspection in reflected light.

Guaranteed accuracy
Quality management requirements are constantly increasing. That is why you need to be able to rely on the consistent measurement accuracy of your machines. In ZOLLER measuring machines, length measurement accuracy is determined using high-precision calibration standards made of Borofloat® glass in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 10360 standard. In accordance with this standard, at least three measurement sequences (25,326 relationships) are performed. This procedure documents the two-dimensional accuracy of ZOLLER measuring machines and ensures traceability at all times.
The Fact Check for Tools
Quality is measurable. That is why it can be proven. For tool manufacturers and grinding shops, there is a very simple way to provide hard evidence of tool quality: ZOLLER’s inspection and measurement technology.
Take precise spot checks right next to the grinding machine. Inspect the quality parameters for cutting edges and surface roughness with a precision of up to 0.1 µm. Have tool geometries automatically analyzed across over 100 parameters and create digital twins.
The ZOLLER Inspection & Measurement Solution proves what many claim: quality.
