Why are there different camera variants?

Depending on the tool dimensions and types to be inspected, ZOLLER offers three different camera technologies »pomBasic« three different camera technologies. This means that every customer receives a solution that is optimally tailored to their requirements.

»pomSoft 2« - intelligent inspection

The special ZOLLER software »pomSoft 2« for process-oriented measurement is based on the globally proven ZOLLER image processing »pilot 4.0« and is equipped with numerous evaluation algorithms for grinding and sharpening companies as well as tool manufacturers. In addition, all functions can be individually created and saved for the respective inspection task and tool variant in the customer-specific menu. This means that it can be used clearly and independently of the operator, without the need for extensive training.

Machine table standing workstation

Stable and secure positioning of the »pomBasic« inspection machine as a standing workstation. Includes pull-out board for mouse and keyboard.

Are the devices user-friendly?

Yes, »pomBasic« is characterized by a high level of user-friendliness, among many other advantages. For example, the most important and most frequently used functions can be arranged in favorite groups. This means that every operator has quick and simple access to the required measuring functions.

Does the »pomBasic« the option of zooming in on cross-sectional views using the digital zoom?

A digital zoom is available in the operating software for all camera variants. In addition, the cameras of the variants »pomColorCam« and »pomMicroCam« have an optical zoom.

Are DXF comparisons supported for all devices in the »pomBasic«-Series supported?

The DXF function can be used to quickly and reliably align tools optically with their nominal contour in DXF format.

Are there options for quick illumination settings for Incident light and transmitted light?

A function for automatic illumination setting at the touch of a button is available for Incident light. In addition, all available illuminations can be quickly and simply optimally adjusted using the quick access function.

When do I need a standard camera (»pomBasic«) or a micro camera („pomBasic MTI«)?

Ideally, the diameter range of the »pomBasic« starts at 3 mm and increases towards the top. For the „pomBasic MTI« the diameter range starts at 0.2 mm and also increases towards the top.

Can larger tool diameters be measured with „pomBasic MTI« can larger tool diameters also be measured?

The travel paths of the X and Y axes are identical for both device variants. This means that even larger tool diameters can be reliably measured with the „pomBasic MTI« reliably measured.

Does ZOLLER offer for »pomBasic« and „pomBasic MTI« tool holders?

A large number of tool holders are available for a wide range of tool areas.

Why is there a CN control for the camera axis?

Enables combined focus images of the tool, automatic camera positioning in relation to the tool surface and CNC-controlled movement of the camera axis using a joystick.

Why does the camera from the »pomBasic MTI« coaxial lighting and what is it?

The coaxial lighting is integrated directly into the camera system and ensures optimal, shadow-free lighting of the tool surface, especially for micro-tools.

Machine table seated workstation

Stable and secure positioning of the »pomBasic« inspection machine as a seated workstation for optimum comfort, even on time-consuming inspection tasks. Includes pull-out board for mouse and keyboard.

Additional illumination (white/red)

Enables transmitted light measurement of the peripheral area using flat LED lighting. The illumination is positioned directly opposite the video microscope system. This means that outer contours, step lengths, point angles and much more can be measured.Additional illumination white for »pomBasic« with »pomColorCam« optics, Additional illumination red for »pomBasic MTI«

Additional illumination adjustable in height for optimum, high-contrast lighting of even the smallest areas along the tool cutting edge – for radial and axial incident light measurements. »pomLightTube« white/red for »pomBasic« »pomMicroLightTube« blue for »pomBasic MTI«

Single LED spot illumination (white/red)

The dimmable LED spot illumination can be flexibly positioned in relation to the tool to provide optimum lighting even for undercut tool geometries.LED spot white for »pomBasic« with »pomColorCam« optics, LED spot red for »pomBasic« with »pomCam« optics and »pomBasic MTI«

Ideal for attaching drawings in the immediate vicinity of measurements. The magnetic ball joint allows flexible and optimum alignment for the operator. The drawings can be easily fixed and quickly changed using magnets.

The tray attached to the left-hand side of the inspection device allows tools with a maximum shank size of D 50 mm to be stored carefully. The tray also offers sufficient space for small parts and indexable inserts.

Extended swivel table

For very long tools such as drills or reamers, the extended swivel table enables perfect tool fixing.

Extended holder for deep hole drill

Support for extra-long tools D 3 mm to D 20 mm up to a length of 1000 mm. The support height of the prism can be adjusted. The connection to the extended swivel table is mechanical.

Depending on the application, three optics options are available: the »pomColorCam« color camera with optical zoom, the »pomCam« monochrome camera with a fixed aperture and digital zoom, and the »pomMicroCam« monochrome camera with optical zoom, designed specifically for micro tools.

CNC Control of the camera axis

Enables the capture of fully in-focus images of the tool for comprehensive inspection, automatic positioning of the camera relative to the tool surface, and CNC-controlled movement of the camera axis via the joystick control in the software. Manual infinite fine adjustment is also available.

For log printouts directly on the inspection device.

The UPS system for uninterruptible power supply ensures that your computer is shut down properly in the event of a power grid fault to prevent data loss. Mains voltages of 230 V~ (Europe) and 120 V~ (USA) are available.
