The robot integrated in the »roboSet 2« makes it possible to guarantee a high tool throughput 24/7 without an operator. The robot performs even complex and lengthy measuring tasks independently, guaranteeing maximum process reliability and measuring accuracy. The integrated force/torque sensor also offers you the option of reliably inserting shank tools into tight fits such as intermediate sleeves.

The intermediate sleeves are changed fully automatically. This makes it possible to measure and document different tool types within a pallet management system and even within a pallet.

Before the »roboSet 2« automation solution can start its work process, only the loading of the tools via the pallet management has to be defined by an operator in the »pilot 4.0« software. Thanks to the multi-pallet system (eight pallets as standard, nine as an option), large quantities can be processed and documented fully automatically. Well-organized pallet management makes a significant contribution to process optimization, provides flexibility to handle different batch sizes and helps to move goods more efficiently and sustainably.

Thanks to an integrated camera, which is available as an option, any irregularities that occur can be rectified more quickly and specifically by ZOLLER service personnel.

In the upstream tool cutting edge cleaning »roboClean« the cutting edges of pre-cleaned shank tools are cleaned fully automatically in an ultrasonic bath and dust is removed. Air nozzles then make sure that the shank tools are dried. This ensures precise measurement results.

The ZOLLER »roboMark« laser marking system is used to mark tools that have been measured within tolerance, either on the circumference or the end of the shank. The marking itself is individual and offers many different setting options. QR or DataMatrix codes can also be applied without additional effort and enable traceability of the respective tool via the link to the tool database.

Within the »roboSet 2«, automatic and contactless Weldon detection takes place. The tool is aligned accordingly so that it can be safely picked up by the robot and labeled with »roboMark« at the appropriate position.

During automatic tool recognition, QR codes, DataMatrix codes, etc. are read via an integrated scanner. Thanks to the interface to ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions, all information on the scanned tools is accessible and links to external workstations (e. g. to the regrinding counter) can also be implemented.
