Reach Your Goal Safely and Efficiently
With ZOLLER’s »powerShrink«, shrink-fitted tools are ready for use in no time: thanks to the intuitive »pilot« software, the intelligent induction system, and continuous monitoring of the steps.
The »powerShrink« technology ensures the shortest possible process cycles. Even inexperienced operators can achieve the resulting short process times after just a brief training period. The »pilot« operating software guides you through all steps and controls many processes fully automatically. For each step, the software displays the component required and provides visual support through graphic displays on the screen and the pioneering ZOLLER »actbyLight« user guidance concept—the light-guided user guidance designed for the safe and efficient use of the »powerShrink« in your company.
Insert the shrink fit holder; select the heating parameters (manual/automatic via »idChip«)
Shielding system: Insert the disc or adjust »varOct« (manual/motorized) for alignment
Move the coil down until it rests on the shrink fit holder
Start the heating process; the heating progress is represented in the software
After the heating process, raise the coil and insert the cutting tool into the shrink fit holder
Slide the holder to the green-flashing cooling bell and place the bell on top
The cooling process starts automatically; when it ends, a blue light is displayed
After the cooling process is complete, remove the cooling bell from the shrink fit holder
Clearly managed and perfectly connected
The clearly structured graphic interface of the ZOLLER »pilot« software guides operators intuitively and reliably step by step through the input dialog using large function buttons and a well-designed color scheme. The 12.5-inch monitor delivers a razor-sharp representation.
Main Menu – large function areas with clear icons: Shrink-fit chuck selection, parameter selection, or scan code.
Parameter Selection – The required heating parameters can be selected simply and reliably using clear and intuitive software interfaces.
Scan Function – All parameters corresponding to the shrink fit holder are loaded automatically, regardless of the manufacturer. Monitoring of the number of heating cycles and viewing of information for each shrink fit holder is possible.
SStep-by-Step Guidance – Throughout the entire shrinking process, »pilot« displays the exact step to perform and when.
Status Displays – Whether heating or cooling, »pilot« shows you the process progress and important safety instructions at all times.
