Simply ZOLLER –
simple examples
Impressed exhibition visitors: it really works so simple.

easuring a tool on an unfamiliar machine, especially
in front of the boss... The employee of a machining
supplier was clearly not delighted when visiting
the ZOLLER exhibition stand with his supervisor upon being
asked to test the »genius« machine with »elephant«
technology himself. A brief shock was followed by a surprise.
It really was as easy as promised. No embarrassment, instead,

„If an interested party visits the ZOLLER exhibition stand,
then he will be able to record and measure the tools he has
brought with him99.9%of the time either himself or together

even possible“, explains Pfau and adds: „You need to be a
programmer or have one available on the stand. That is also
the reason
why ZOLLER
has penetra-

well: sheer simplicity.
„No problem“ is our motto.
Focused on benefits for the customer –
with excellent products and reliable service

machine into production. This is like buying a mobile phone
but not being able to use it without having had special
training. Nobody needs that. Good technology needs to
