“Quality is no accident - it is always the result of intelligent effort”

This statement by John Ruskin is what we take to heart in our daily work. We know that quality is not a status, but a daily source of motivation to continuously develop solutions in order to meet new challenges. The result: quality from which you can really profit. This newsletter will inform you about how our products can help you ensure the quality of your tools, increase satisfaction, and optimize tool usage.

Do you also ask yourself the question on how to increase profits in production and how to achieve maximum machine loading? Are you looking for optimization options because -tools lying around block the work process; -time-consuming search for tools ties up capacity; -multiple data entry at each work place is "outdated"?

The new »smile« combines decades of experience and user-oriented development with typical ZOLLER innovation: unrivaled in this price segment in terms of performance scope and user-friendliness. Proven functional design, together with a new table system, make working on the machine a sheer pleasure as it leaves nothing to be desired from an ergonomic or operational point of view.

... where would you like to be with your company by the end of the year? You can spend valuable time searching for tools, accept machine downtimes or deficiencies in quality due to inaccurately preset tools - resulting in disappointed customers and employees. Or perform successfully on the market?

We wish you a wonderful holiday season with happiness, health and prosperity throughout the coming year.

All of us at ZOLLER wish to express our sincere gratitude for your loyalty during the past year, and we look forward to a partnership of continued success in 2014.

"Intelligence in production" – this was the motto of this year's EMO. ZOLLER presented over twenty innovations on this subject, two of which we would like to showcase in this newsletter: the future of modern tool data management and new products from the »pom«-series for tool inspection.

Machines are generally the focus when discussing the optimization of set-up times and tool life. Tool management often ranges a distant second. An expensive complacency - especially since it has been proven that getting tool cabinets organized pays dividends!

Every day, manufacturers and users alike are faced with new challenges, including tool innovations for new solutions in tool and measuring technology as well as quality assurance. In 2012, SANDVIK Coromant extended its product portfolio with solutions for form milling cutters. Before then, no adequate measuring technology was available on the market.
