Connected manufacturing means that tool data is transferred simply, quickly, and error-free throughout the process chain. With numerous interfaces, ZOLLER ensures that data flows not only within the ZOLLER system, but also into and out of it.

The ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions software exchanges data with tool catalogs and CAD/CAM systems. The »pilot« measuring device software offers DNC interfaces for data transfer to machining centers. In addition, tool management solutions from other manufacturers and production control systems can be integrated.

CAM interfaces

Maintain the tool data only once in the central tool database »z.One« and access it directly from your CAM system. Depending on the system, you can then send the tool list (setup sheet) back to ZOLLER TMS. This ensures that programming, simulation, and manufacturing all use the same tool data.

ZOLLER TMS is integrated with over 25 CAM and simulation systems, including Mastercam, hyperMILL, Siemens NX, ESPRIT, SolidCAM, TopSolid, Tebis, and Vericut.

The AdCAM interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different types of machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

The PowerMill interface connects ZOLLER TMS directly to the CAM programming system. Tool data, contours, and technology data are managed centrally and automatically provided in PowerMill.

The connection with TopSolid links the tool database and CAM programming. Users can access approved tools and up-to-date technology data from ZOLLER TMS at any time.

The PEPS integration connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different types of machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

The ZOLLER TMS interface to Siemens NX centrally provides tool data, 3D geometries, and process parameters. This ensures that design, CAM programming, and manufacturing always work with identical tool data.

The integration with Virtual Gibbs enables direct access to key tool data from ZOLLER TMS. Tool configurations and technology data are seamlessly integrated into the programming process.

With CAMWorks integration, up-to-date tool data is available directly within the CAM environment. ZOLLER TMS provides a centralized database and reduces the need for manual maintenance.

The Edgecam interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different types of machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

The NCsimul interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

The Surfcam interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

The direct interface between ZOLLER TMS and SolidCAM automatically transfers tool data, 3D geometries, and machining parameters. Milling, turning, and mill-turn processes benefit from consistent tool information.

The Vericut interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different types of machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

The Partmaker interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

ZOLLER TMS provides FeatureCAM with consistent tool data and tool models. This efficiently links programming and tool management.

ZOLLER TMS integrates tool management and CAM programming in Cimatron. Tool data is managed centrally and is available for reliable NC programming.

Through its integration with ESPRIT, ZOLLER TMS provides centralized tool data for milling, turning, and multichannel machining. Consistent tool data increases process reliability in NC programming.

ZOLLER TMS synchronizes tool data with hyperMILL and provides identical tool models for programming, simulation, and manufacturing.

ZOLLER TMS provides Tebis with tool data, contours, and technology data. This ensures that programming, simulation, and manufacturing are optimally coordinated.

ZOLLER TMS provides a connection between tool data and the PTC Creo CAD/CAM environment. Standardized tool models support efficient planning and programming.

With the NCG CAM interface, ZOLLER TMS provides consistent tool data and tool geometries for programming. This reduces errors and standardizes processes.

The CATIA interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

Thanks to integration with OPUS CAM, tool data from ZOLLER TMS is directly available for NC programming. Centralized data management reduces maintenance efforts and improves data quality.

With Mastercam integration, ZOLLER TMS provides key tool data for NC programming. Tool geometries and technology data are automatically imported and kept up to date.

The Eureka interface connects ZOLLER TMS with CAM programming for different types of machining processes. Tool data is managed centrally and provided automatically.

All interfaces support milling tools. The overview shows what other data is transferred:

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ZOLLER software do I need for a CAM interface?

ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions in a version that is dependent on the CAM system, as well as the add-on »z.CAM Integration«. The exact stipulations are listed on the respective system's page.

Is data transferred only to the CAM system, or also back?

For most systems, this works in both directions: tool data is sent to the CAM system, and the setup sheet listing the required tools is returned to the ZOLLER database.

Are contours or 3D data also transferred?

Depending on the system, either tool contours or 3D models are transferred. The exact data that is transferred is specified in the technical specifications for the respective interface.

My CAM system isn't listed. What should I do?

Please contact us. We'll determine which integrations are possible for your system.
