Eighty cutting edges in 120 seconds and
tool weights up to 250 kg (551 lbs)! Adjust
crankshaft milling cutters with exterior
cutting edges and turning and broaching
tools in engine building quickly, precise
ly, and conveniently — a true challenge.
The »gemini« presetting and measuring
machine is the solution.
THE RIGHT SETTING FOR MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE
»gemini« is designed to provide easy,
convenient handling for heavy tools.
The device can be easily loaded from the
front, and the enclosure provides the
best possible user safety.
IGNITING AN IDEA FOR EXACT DRILLING
No engine starts without successful
ignition — and for successful ignition,
the piston must move smoothly within
the cylinder. Only tools set with the best
possible precision, such as reamers,
guarantee precise drill holes. The expert
for this task is the »reamCheck« preset
ting and measuring machine, which can
be adjusted for both tactile and touch
less measurements. This means reaming
tools and other tools that can’t be used
with image processing technology due
to their geometry can also be adjusted
and measured using tactile processes if
needed.
HIGHLY PRECISE AT EVERY TURN
Threads are found on numerous parts of
a car — from the wheels to the antenna
and even the tank lid. Every screw must
be tightened to ensure safety on the
streets. That’s why precision is a must
when machining threads. The profes
sional thread tool, »threadCheck«, is
specially developed around these needs.
Whether you’re working with tap drills,
thread milling cutters, or thread formers,
with six CNC controlled axes, intuitive im
age processing operations, highly mod
ern multisensors, and a fullyautomatic
swiveling multisensor optic carrier »or
thoScan«, helical tools are measured in
a touchless and distortionfree process,
including test report.
MANY LENGTHS AHEAD IN SERIES
PRODUCTION
More and more tools are being used in
the automotive industry that have to
be set to a precise length — the ZOLLER
»redomatic« presetting, measuring and
heatshrink machine with inductive
shrinkfitting equipment is perfect for
these applications. The patented auto
matic »asza« longitudinal axis system
guarantees heat shrinking of tools to
target dimensions with a tolerance of 10
μm. The »sls« heat shrink control system
and the flue gas suction device, which
is also patented, are important compo
nents of the overall process. Operators
are reliably guided through the process
using graphic operating instructions.
This means all of your workers can use
the system safely without long training
requirements.
This process can be automated with ex
tremely high tool throughput; combin
ing »redomatic« with »roboSet« allows
for automatic heat shrinking of tools to
nominal values with almost no human in
tervention.
PRODUCTION PROCESSES BROUGHT ON TRACK
The high pressure to innovate among
automotive manufacturers demands
excellent flexibility among automotive
suppliers. This is a good reason to get
on track with intelligent manufacturing.
Networkingcapable production ele
ments, and safe and easy data trans
mission from the drawing to the machine,
are basic requirements for this kind of
manufacturing. ZOLLER solutions can be
integrated into existing processes. They
offer interfaces to all current thirdpar
ty systems, and use a central tool da
tabase to ensure digital consistency for
tool data across the entire production
process. This means both automotive
manufacturers and supplier companies
are set up to succeed right from the start
— and are wellequipped on their way to
the pole position!
