Working with industrial barcodes brings security
Human input errors are avoided and the frequently considerable stream of information carried in the black lines is read in without errors by scanning.
Bar code development originated in the 1970s when the first data processing systems began to be used in enterprise resource planning systems. Nowadays, the barcode has become an essential feature in modern production. It has also made its way into tool presetting.
As far back as 1994, ZOLLER started working with barcode systems. After all, using a barcode system in tool provision increases process security by almost 100 percent.
The customer benefit is obvious:
Using a barcode system allows every tool to be uniquely identified whatever the location. There are no downtimes due to machine crashes caused by incorrect tool data. Tools can be reused without being measured again.
ZOLLER uses the barcode to carry the name and number of a cutting tool. It is applied to the cutting tool on a professional label or a printout. Corresponding barcode readers are installed on ZOLLER presetting and measuring machines manufacturers. When the barcode on the tool is read, the tool data stored in the electronic control unit or tool management system is called up. Also, ZOLLER presetting and measuring machines are capable of professional printing out industrial barcode labels to be attached to tools. Barcode readers, professional software and barcode printing machines are options with ZOLLER. ZOLLER additionally offers Tool Tags as data carriers so the tool can be reliably identified with the barcode label.
