FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there different camera models?

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

Are the devices user-friendly?

Yes, in addition to its many other advantages, »pomBasic« stands out for its high level of user-friendliness. For example, the most important and frequently used functions can be organized into favorite groups. This ensures that all operators have quick and simple access to the required measurement functions.

Does »pomBasic« offer the option to enlarge cross-sectional images using digital zoom?

A digital zoom is available in the control software for all camera models. Additionally, the »pomColorCam« and »pomMicroCam« models feature an optical zoom.

Are DXF comparisons supported on all devices in the »pomBasic« series?

The DXF function allows tools to be quickly and reliably optically aligned with their nominal contour in DXF format.

Are there options to quickly adjust the illumination settings for incident light and transmitted light?

For incident light, an automatic illumination setting function is available at the touch of a button. Additionally, the quick-access function allows you to quickly and simply optimize all available illumination settings.

When should I use a standard camera (»pomBasic«) or a micro camera (»pomBasic MTI«)?

Ideally, the diameter range for the »pomBasic« starts at 3 mm and increases toward the top. For the »pomBasic MTI«, the diameter range starts as low as 0.2 mm and also increases toward the top.

Can »pomBasic MTI« also be used to measure larger tool diameters?

The travel paths of the X-axis and Y-axis are identical for both device models. This allows even larger tool diameters to be reliably measured with the »pomBasic MTI«.

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

A wide variety of tool holders are available for a wide range of tool applications.

Why is there a CNC control for the camera axis?

Enables combined focus on the tool, automatic camera positioning relative to the tool surface, and CNC-controlled movement of the camera axis via joystick.

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

Coaxial illumination is integrated directly into the camera system and ensures optimal, shadow-free lighting of the tool surface, particularly for microtools.
