Cost-effective batch testing with »roboSet 2«

Automated measurement, cost-effective manufacturing – Mauth relies on »the« ZOLLER »roboSet 2«

Mauth Werkzeug-Schleiftechnik GmbH in Oberndorf am Neckar benefits from the unattended, automated measurement of special tools in small and medium-sized production runs.

Michael Mauth says he always focuses on innovative technologies. Michael Mauth recently integrated TELA Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH in Horb into his company as a sister company. There, an additional 25 skilled workers primarily manufacture special tools with PCD and CBN cutting edges, as well as custom-designed gear cutting tools and tool holders, for example for cutting large gear wheels for wind turbines.

Practical and application-oriented

Michael Mauth confirms the economic benefits of the »roboSet 2« robotic cell in combination with a »genius« measuring device from ZOLLER. He is also convinced of the excellent collaboration with the specialists at ZOLLER. “The technicians and engineers at ZOLLER are always willing to listen and take into account the practical needs and requirements of users. They are very interested in optimizing the setting and measuring devices for users,” he says, praising the performance of the Pleidelsheim-based manufacturer.

Focus on Custom Geometries: The specialists at Mauth Werkzeug-Schleiftechnik GmbH develop and manufacture custom tools for drilling, reaming, milling, slotting, turning, and gear cutting for manufacturing companies around the world.

Appropriate Measurement Technology

In his view, measurement methods and devices that are also used in production facilities to measure and adjust tools are ideally suited for production-oriented tool measurement. “Such measuring devices are robustly designed for use in production. In addition, they provide the measurement data that users of special tools in production also determine and verify,” he reports.

That is why the specialists in Oberndorf measure the geometries of the special tools immediately after grinding using, among other things, three »genius« tool inspection and setting machines and a »smartCheck« measuring device from ZOLLER. “We chose this manufacturer because the measuring devices and software are very closely aligned with the practical realities of our company. The specialists in Pleidelsheim understand and take into account the requirements of the production technicians,” says Michael Mauth. This significantly simplifies the measurement of the tools, especially for staff who are primarily responsible for grinding.

Even without in-depth knowledge of metrology, the technicians can quickly use ZOLLER’s measuring devices to record and assess whether the ground special-purpose tools meet the specifications. Furthermore, operation is very simple. Operators are consistently and reliably guided through the measuring process using easy-to-understand graphics, intuitive icons, and logically sequenced menus.
