The task: increasing efficiency
„We have entered new dimensions with the »smarTcheck«
universal measuring machine“, states Höhnel. The »smarT-
check« is used for goods receiving inspection of outsour-
ced tools, the manufacturing process of special tools and
for the continuous inspection of the tools. „We re-grind our
tools up to fifteen times. Therefore, exact measured values
for the tools are paramount to ensure repeatability during
the manufacturing process“, underlines Höhnel.
The result: high process safety and time savings
The advantages of a measuring machine are obvious in his
mind: „The human uncertainty factor is excluded, the ma-
chine is calibrated automatically every two hours and data
transfer is absolutely smooth, transposed digits are a thing
of the past. The manufacturing of precision components
has speeded up and process safety has been increased.“
The decision: yet another ZOLLER machine
Prior to the »smarTcheck«, a manual ZOLLER »smile« machi-
ne had already been in use at NOMOS Glashütte for over ten
years. Long years of good cooperation and local service for
maintenance and calibration are a further reason why the
watch makers continue to place their trust in ZOLLER.
„The main reason for deciding in favor of the ZOLLER ma-
chine was the high level of accuracy“, says Höhnel. This is
because ZOLLER measures at the prevailing state-of-the-
art technology – things could not be more accurate. And
that is exactly what is required at NOMOS Glashütte.
