Preset devices increase productivity, quality, and process reliability
Short setup times, long machine running times: these are the two most important factors for increasing the productivity of your machine tools. A tool presetter determines all important data in advance and transfers it to the machine without errors.
In order to work precisely, CNC machine tools require exact tool geometry data. If this tool data is determined in advance and outside the CNC machine, it can be imported without delay when the tool is used.
Electronic data transfer from the presetting device to the machine tool not only prevents typing errors and other transmission problems, it is also completed in a very short time. This not only reduces setup time to a minimum, but also means that the setup time for the new tool is effectively zero – allowing you to maximize tool life.
Preset device – the advantages
- Setup time and setup time are separated: Tools can be prepared while the CNC machine tool is still running—this can even take place in separate locations if this facilitates or speeds up the work processes.
- No setup time: Electronic transmission of the prepared tool data ensures that the machine control system receives the correct information without delay and without errors.
- Increased process reliability: No more errors during manual adjustment thanks to fully electronic data transfer directly from the presetting device to the CNC machine.
- Quality from the very first part: Your machines, perfectly supplied with data, produce top results and no rejects from the very first workpiece. With exact measurements of tools, there are also no crashes or interruptions.
- Longer tool life: Minimized setup and adjustment times allow the machine to work more effectively and productively. With regular checks of the cutting quality in the presetting device, you always have top quality.
Work better, more effectively, and more productively with ZOLLER presetting devices
ZOLLER tool presetters are designed for all applications.
Our measuring machines work with modular systems, allowing the right solutions to be put together for all requirements. They can be configured with suitable measurement methods for different parameters and tools – whether for fully automatic or manual measurement. The result is always a precise measurement.
The intuitive user interface is extremely simple, safe, and convenient to use. Among other things, the devices offer automatic tool cutting edge detection, a one-hand control handle for easy slide adjustment, and a membrane keypad for power-operated spindle clamping and spindle locking.
Direct electronic transmission of tool data, which makes input errors a thing of the past, is of course possible with all devices. ZOLLER presetting devices offer different variants for secure data transfer to the machine – whether for SMEs or large companies, whether for Heller, Index or other machine manufacturers.
In addition, there are simple options for importing and exporting tool data and other features.
