The Zoller Interface integrated in CAM Works supplies customers with advanced tool database management options, an overview of available tools, and eliminates the need to maintain multiple tool databases.

With the interface, tool data is standardised and the exchange of data between the two software systems is automated. Customers only need to enter the information for their cutting tools in once into the central Zoller tool database and the tools are imported automatically into CAM Works. All of the tool parameters are captured, including contour line for holder and cutter, specific tool type, and technology data, such as feeds and speeds. The interface also allows users to define tools in the Zoller TMS Tool Management Solutions software with the same tool types and parameters that are being used in CAM Works.

Once a part model is programmed, the Interface generates a setup sheet that includes a list of tools used for the part. The setup sheet assists with tools assembly, measurement and sending measured values to the machine for cutting the parts. The interface in CAM Works decreases manual entry of tool data and streamlines tool management.
