Frequently asked questions
Which tools can I measure with the ZOLLER »hobCheck«?
The universal »hobCheck« measuring machine can measure and set a wide range of tools such as hobs, taps, end mills, step drills and forming tools.
Which gear cutting tools can I measure with the »hobCheck«?
The »hobCheck« offers very accurate measurements that are carried out in accordance with the relevant standards such as DIN 3968 and DIN 1829.
How long does the complete measurement of a tool take?
A complete measurement of a hob according to DIN 3968 usually only takes a few minutes. The data creation for a new tool is required only once and is also very quick.
What advantages does the integrated probe offer?
The measuring probe makes it possible to measure parameters that remain hidden to the camera, such as the rake angle, the pitch and the flute direction. This is particularly interesting for resharpeners.
