A new addition to the ZOLLER product portfolio: Smart Cabinets have been added to the TMS Tool Management Solutions product line. Use the software-supported storage cabinets for transparent and efficient storage of single components, complete tools, consumables, & accessories.
In the past year at the EMO trade show in Hanover, Germany, the new ZOLLER tool cabinets were presented for the first time – with great success. Among them: The ZOLLER »toolOrganizer«, first launched in 2012, last year presented for the first time in a new design, the new »keeper« tool cabinet for the storage of complete tools, the »autoLock« for securely storing items like hand tools, lubricants, or measuring and inspection equipment, and the new ZOLLER work bench.
All Smart Cabinets are of high stability and load capacity. For example, the »keeper« tool cabinet can lift a load of approx. 1000 kg. The flexible equipment options of the drawers and pull-outs is a feature that is indispensable especially when using tools and components of different sizes and lengths.
Linking to tool management software is the key
The Smart Cabinets are linked to the TMS Tool Management Solutions software, allowing the operator to graphically represent storage locations in 3D with just a click of the mouse. The operator gets an overview of minimum inventory levels, and place orders quickly and easily.
The result: No more incorrectly stored items, and no more machine downtimes due to missing tools — with ZOLLER Smart Cabinets, the operator has his tools, components, and accessories in view and at hand, and saves both time and money.
Efficient Tool Data Handling from a Single Source: Coordinated Hardware and Software Solutions
ZOLLER hardware and software products, such as presetting and measuring machines, Smart Cabinets and the TMS Tool Management Solutions software, enable data consistency, from the setup sheet to the machine. The setup sheet (tool list) consists all necessary tools and components. This sheet is presented in the software and thanks to the connection to the cabinets, the software shows the operator exactly, in which compartment the single components are located. After assembling the tool, it can be directly measured at the ZOLLER presetting and measuring machine – the data is already available as every ZOLLER product is linked to each other via the central z.One tool database. At the end, the tool data is transferred by a click of the mouse to the machine tool.
By adding the Smart Cabinets, ZOLLER further expands its leading position as a specialist in hardware and software solutions focused on tool (data) handling in the machining process.
