ZOLLER presetting, tool management and tool storage solutions play a vital role at Eagle Manufacturing, a thriving student-run manufacturing business out of Brown County High School in Nashville, Indiana.

In high speed, tight tolerance machining operations, eliminating the potential for human error can be a competitive advantage in an increasingly rigid marketplace.

By implementing smart tool management solutions by ZOLLER, which provides interfaces to a variety of software providers and machines, SIM Automation GmbH in Heilbad Heiligenstadt has enjoyed six figure savings and established data consistency across its entire production process.

H. Beck Machinery Ltd. (Windsor, ON, Canada) specializes in high-accuracy, large-scale CNC custom machining using 10 large machines from boring mills to a six-axis Droop + Rein mill and a five-axis Fidia machining center. ZOLLER tool management systems have saved H. Beck Machinery machine time and permitted longer untended machine operation in its machining of auto stamping dies from roughing to finishing.

At its Fountain Inn, SC, plant, Bosch Rexroth produces many different axial piston hydraulic pumps and valve housings for its drive products for heavy equipment and agricultural applications. Controlling the cost of more than 900 different tool assemblies it uses is a major task. A ZOLLER Tool Management System is how it’s done.

Bosch Rexroth in Fountain Inn has two production buildings with more than 90 CNC machine tools, mostly DMG and Mori Seiki machining centers operating 24 hours a day, 7…

Ceratizit is both a pioneer and global player in hard material solutions. The products, for example, hob cutters, reversing plates or cutting inserts, are used in a host of markets and industries - such as in the automotive industry, the petrochemical industry, in mechanical engineering, energy technology as well as wood and stone machining. The permanent further development of the product portfolio called for new solutions, including the production periphery and the process procedures. At the…

A modern aircraft is a highly complex machine. The safety of passengers as well as the reliability and cost-effectiveness of an airline's flying operations depends on error-free functioning of the parts and perfect interactions. This is based on state-of-the-art technology on board - and behind the scenes. It must also enable maximum possible flexibility in the "manufacturing" unit of "VIP and Governance”. The spectrum of parts is considerable, customer wishes are extremely individual and…

Optimization of set-up times and tool life are objectives in any manufacturing operation. This usually focuses on machines, less often on lacking organization of tools. The GMN Paul Müller Industrie GmbH & Co. KG in Nuremberg, Germany, has created order in its tool management by introducing a ZOLLER solution, consisting of a tool presetter machine and the TMS Tool Management Solutions, a solution which has paid off: search times and corresponding longer machine operating times have been reduced,…

Efficient tool management not only saves tool costs but also speeds up NC programming and shortens positioning times. Always assuming of course that the CAM programmers are able to access the real tool data. Bombardier Transportation has therefore implemented an integrated solution at its Netphen location, where body shells and bogies for rail vehicles are produced. This integrated solution comprises the TopSolid'Cam software from Missler and the Tool Management Solutions system from Zoller.
