ZOLLER guarantees savings of at least 15,000 euros per machine, per year, and per shift when preset tools are used
According to a study by RWTH Aachen (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen), annual tooling costs amount to 10% of the machine’s value
With ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions, you can increase your productivity by at least 5%

Tools that are inadequately set, measured, or prepared—or not at all—cause 4.52 minutes of machine downtime per hour per machine. This was revealed by measurements taken in the automotive industry.
A ZOLLER presetting and measuring machine makes a decisive difference. Every measurement is fast and precise. All tools arrive at the machine perfectly prepared. Machine downtime decreases, while productive time increases—the time savings add up over the course of the year to a measurable increase in productivity.
For the sample calculations, we have reduced the time loss determined in the automotive industry to 3 minutes per hour and are assuming 15 to 25 tool changes per day.
Calculation formula per machine: Time
savings in min. × tool changes × shifts × hourly rate

With tool management software such as ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions, you can increase your productivity by at least 5%—a finding also confirmed by research conducted by RWTH Aachen (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen). Using your machine’s hourly rate, you can calculate what this productivity increase means for your company—in hard cash and per machine!
Calculation formula:
8 hours/day × shifts/year × hourly rate × 5%

Research conducted by RWTH Aachen (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen) shows that, over a ten-year period, the tooling costs for a machine tool amount to as much as the machine itself cost.
With ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions, you can save 20% of these tooling costs—that’s a savings of 2% of the machine’s purchase price per year! A look at the tooling costs in your company’s annual financial statements will show you the extent of your savings potential.
Calculation formula:
Machine costs × 2%
