The reproduction of an oversized ZOLLER database on the exhibition stand used neon tubes as symbols to connect the product areas tool presetting and measuring as well as tool measurement technology – the future of modern tool data management in production, with more and more manufacturers of tools providing their data in the "Tool Cloud". Visitors to the stand were able to experience this live. "With this state-of-the-art solution, users can download all tool data required for programming directly into their system. As first partner of the MachiningCloud, ZOLLER is in a position of using these data. For example, 3D models can be created directly from these data, and CAM systems can be provided with complete tool data in 2D and 3D as well as with article characteristics", explains cloud expert Michael Taesch. "A data unit is no longer required, the data are directly available". This makes tedious entering of tool data by hand a thing of the past.

The machines of the »pom« series for process-oriented measurement provide maximum in-process capabilities. They can also be employed outside the metrology room, directly in production. The »pomBasicMicro« was presented for the first time at the trade fair. This compact tool inspection unit for workshops, directly adjacent to the CNC grinding machine, is now also available with a high-resolution camera for micro tools. The newly developed swivel table allows measurement of tools at freely selected angles. More information on the basic machine »pomBasic«, the compact solution for universal tool inspection, can be found here.

VAT, an internationally operating Swiss company and market leader in vacuum valves for the semiconductor and vacuum coating industry, has been manufacturing in accordance with the zero defect principle for years. This requires unconditional quality - across the entire value chain. The ZOLLER-»venturion« is the matching measurement solution to support this strategy successfully.
Urs Roduner, Tool Coach and responsible for tool procurement at VAT, underlines the safety and reliability of the ZOLLER machines as major advantages in all fields of application: "No matter which age, nationality or level of education, in fact, no matter who operates the machine: I can rely on the results one hundred percent."
