ZOLLER smart cabinets combine with TMS tool management solutions for total tooling control
"With transparent data transfer between the ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions software and CAM software, manufacturers can ensure that their 3-D tooling models are produced correctly," said a company spokesperson. "Due to the central »z.One« tool database, tooling data remains consistent, regardless of who is accessing it. From the CAM software, ZOLLER next focused on optimizing tool storage, organization and management and integrating TMS software with the new ZOLLER Smart Cabinets."
With ZOLLER's TMS in conjunction with ZOLLER Smart Cabinets, each tool storage cabinet can be designed and graphically displayed in the software, and single components, tool assemblies and accessories can be tracked down to the individual compartment of the specific drawer and cabinet in which it is stored. "Time spent looking for tools is eliminated, as Smart Cabinets provide total tooling control," added the spokesperson.
Due to ZOLLER's user-friendly »pilot 3.0« operating software, measuring the most complex tool geometries is a simple task. With ZOLLER's tool presetting solutions, set-up times are reduced, while spindle up-time is increased. "Companies are able to preset tools for upcoming jobs while current jobs are running, and they have the assurance of knowing that their first part is the right part, every time. This helps significantly reduce scrap and waste in manufacturing. With data output, tool offset information can be directly communicated to the machine control, eliminating potential human-error in data transfer," said the spokesperson
