Furthermore, for many years there has been the option of using a postprocessor for preparing data for use by the controller and transmitting them to the machine controller by mouse click. Data transfer by means of an RFID chip is just as simple: a tool identification unit on the tool presetter and measuring machine writes the actual data to the RFID chip, which can then be scanned automatically by the machine tool. User Interface Integrated into the System Environment The fastest way from the drawing to the finished part: The required tool data are available in every manufacturing step. 39 | may-june 2019 One aspect of the smart workshop which, due to concentrating on purely technical options for reducing setup times, has drifted out of focus is user friendliness, which, however, is an important criterion due to the lack of skilled personnel and workers of widely differing age, nationality and training. This aspect is of such importance because systems have to be operated. The easier a system is operated, the faster the tool will get to the machine. ZOLLER equipment and software solutions can be operated by anyone, and you can rely on the result.
