Producing precise contours on stone slabs is time-consuming because diamond tools must be dressed regularly. Yet this is precisely where the potential for process optimization lies. ZOLLER offers the right technologies to significantly reduce the time required for perfect results through tool measurement, inspection, and cleaning.
Typically, diamond tools are dressed after 150 to 200 meters of stone processing. This often results in the loss of several hours of valuable production time per machine and shift. Those who know the exact condition of their tools can significantly reduce this immense time expenditure and secure greater production capacity.
With ZOLLER’s precision instruments, you gain comprehensive insights into tool condition with µm-level accuracy. You know the values of numerous tool geometries and precisely capture the contours. Using the data obtained, you optimize process parameters such as the stock removal rate. This paves the way for perfect edge quality, long tool life, and significantly increased machine uptime. Unbeatable competitive advantages.
Getting stone tools ready for mass production
All tools, from coarse grinding to fine polishing, are processed sequentially in a single operation; the contours are automatically compared, and deviations are displayed immediately. ZOLLER devices optimize measurement and correction values relative to one another and can also handle automated data transfer directly to the CNC control—without the need for re-setup. This ensures that the entire tool set fits together perfectly, significantly reducing both setup time and machine downtime. The finished edges: simply excellent!
