FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which measuring ranges are covered by the »redomatic«?
Depending on the device configuration, a maximum tool length of 600 mm to 1000 mm and a maximum diameter of 420 mm to 800 mm can be measured with the ZOLLER »redomatic«.
How do I get broken tools out of my shrink fit holder?
We have developed a special shrink-fit function for this purpose, whereby the broken-off shank tool is pushed out using the »asza« automatic length stop system.
Can I also shrink MST lining with the »redomatic«?
The ZOLLER »redomatic 600« MST was specially developed for the automated measuring, setting and shrinking of shank tools in MST shrink fit chucks.
How often can I shrink my lining until it is worn out?
The service life depends on the manufacturer and can be specified in our database. Our ZOLLER coil heats your lining extremely gently to get the maximum service life out of it and reduces your energy costs by up to 30 %.
How precisely can I shrink and measure with the »redomatic«?
Once you have inserted the shrink fit chuck, the »masterPiece« setting adapter and the tool into the »redomatic«, the length stop is automatically set to match the target tool length. This gives you an accuracy of less than 10 μm when setting the target length. The measuring repeatability of the »redomatic« is the same as that of other ZOLLER presetting and measuring machines and is max. 2 μm.
What coil options are available?
You have the option between our automatic induction coil with »varOct« shielding system and the manual version with shielding discs. Both coils are available in the 14 kVA version. The coil with shielding discs is optionally available as a 22 kVA coil for shrinking larger shrink chuck diameters D40 mm to D50 mm and reinforced shrink chucks (greater wall thickness).
Can I save my tool and shrink data?
With the help of our »pilot 4.0« image processing software, all measurement and shrink parameters can be saved and called up in seconds via the ZOLLER »idChip«, for example. This guarantees a clean and error-free process.
Where can or must I set up the »redomatic«?
Your appliance should be installed on a concrete or similar base plate with a maximum unevenness of 2 mm. The installation site should be equipped with compressed air, a power connection and a network connection. The device should be protected from sunlight, cold or warm air currents, magnetic fields and vibrations in order not to falsify the measurement results.
Where are the cooling bells stored?
All components for the shrinking process are clearly and ergonomically arranged on our auxiliary unit. This provides the operating personnel with a comfortable working environment. With the »redomatic 600« model, the »sls« shrink guidance system on the auxiliary unit also uses LEDs to indicate the correct component for the upcoming work step. To achieve an even simpler and safer shrinking process, the cooling bells on both the »redomatic 400« and »redomatic 600« are available with the »coolbyLight« operator guidance system, which guides the operator through the cooling process using the LED color system.
How does the length adjustment work?
With the help of our »asza« automatic length stop system, the tool can be held in the desired position during the shrinking process, maintaining a tolerance of 10 µm for the overall length.
How long does a shrinking process take, including tool measurement?
The complete process from shrinking and cooling to the finished measurement of a shank tool takes approx. 2 to 3 minutes and depends on the tool type, diameter, etc.
Are there different automatic length stop systems »asza« depending on the shrink fit?
We have various setting pins in our range, which can be selected as required. The device shows you exactly which pin you need to insert via the LED-controlled operator guidance of the »sls« shrink guide system on the auxiliary unit. The pins are simply and user-friendly screwed in with a thread, so they can be changed in just a few seconds.
What exactly is the »swomp« measurement program?
With the »swomp« (shrinking without »masterPiece«) measuring program, it is possible to shrink all types of drilling tools quickly and reliably to a specific nominal length. It does not matter whether the tool is new or has been reground. During the shrinking process, the automatic length stop system »asza« is pre-positioned, the shrink chuck is heated and the length of the tool is set with high precision without the need for a setting adapter.
