The robot integrated in the »roboSet 2« makes it possible to guarantee a high tool throughput 24/7 without an operator. The robot performs even complex and time-consuming measuring tasks independently - maximum process reliability and measuring accuracy are always guaranteed. The integrated force/torque sensor also offers you the option of reliably inserting shank tools into tight fits such as intermediate bushes.

Automatic intermediate bushing change

The intermediate bushes are changed fully automatically. This makes it possible to measure and document different tool types within a pallet management system and even within a pallet.

Before the »roboSet 2« automation solution can start its work process, only the loading of the tools must be defined by an operator via the pallet management in the »pilot 4.0« software. Thanks to the multi-pallet system (eight pallets as standard, nine as an option), large quantities can be processed and documented fully automatically. Overall, well-organized pallet management makes a significant contribution to process optimization, provides flexibility to handle different batch sizes and helps to move goods more efficiently and sustainably.

Camera for process monitoring

Thanks to an integrated camera, which is available as an option, any irregularities that occur can be rectified more quickly and specifically by ZOLLER service personnel.

In the upstream »roboClean« tool cutting edge cleaning system, the cutting edges of pre-cleaned shank tools are cleaned fully automatically in an ultrasonic bath and dust is removed. Air nozzles then ensure that the shank tools are dried. This ensures precise measurement results.

In combination with the »roboSet 2« robotic loading system, the ZOLLER »roboMark« laser marking system operates completely autonomously, process-reliably, and efficiently within the ZOLLER safety enclosure. Thanks to the multi-pallet system and the double gripper unit, this ZOLLER automation solution can process and document even large quantities fully automatically. A flue gas suction device with automatic filter monitoring and other customer-specific add-on solutions, such as the optional Weldon detection, complete the overall system.

Automatic and contactless weldon detection takes place within the »roboSet 2«. The tool is aligned accordingly so that it can be safely picked up by the robot and labeled with »roboMark 2« at the appropriate position.

During automatic tool recognition, QR codes, DataMatrix codes, etc. are read via an integrated scanner. Thanks to the interface to ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions, all information on the scanned tools is accessible and links to external workstations (e.g. to the regrinding counter) can also be implemented.

With ultrasonic and dry cleaning, »roboSet 2« removes microparticles, dust and organic cooling lubricants from every tool. No matter which ZOLLER measuring machine you combine »roboSet 2« with, the tools will be sparkling clean for inspection. Perfect conditions for fully utilizing the precise measuring power of ZOLLER.

Major robotics actions takes place in »roboSet 2«. Next door, at »genius«, there is almost complete silence. To ensure that the unequal neighbors work together perfectly, »roboSet 2« was designed as a separate unit that is mechanically decoupled from the measuring machine. Vibrations and shocks do not reach the µm-precise measurement technology.
