ZOLLER Smart Manufacturing Solutions at IMTS 2018
Engineering360 News Desk | September 12, 2018Zoller Inc., a developer of presetting and measuring technology, will present smart innovative solutions for manufacturing processes at the 2018 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS)in Chicago, September 10-15.
With transparent data transfer between the Zoller TMS Tool Management Solutions software and CAM software, manufacturers can ensure that their 3D tooling models are produced correctly. Thanks to the central z.One tool database, tooling data remains consistent regardless of who is accessing it. From the CAM software, Zoller solutions next aim to focus on optimizing tool storage, organization and management and do so by integrating powerful TMS software with the extraordinary 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.
Thanks 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, setup times are drastically 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.
At IMTS 2018, these integrated Smart Factory solutions from Zoller will be demonstrated live at
our booth in one cohesive product demonstration called "Art-to-Part." Visitors at booth #432018 will see how Zoller solutions tie together to make smart, connected manufacturing a reality today.
