Minimal scrap is crucial in today’s competitive manufacturing environment.
Wasted materials, lost production time and delays in delivery, means finding ways to reduce annual scrap rates is a key priority for modern manufacturers.
ZOLLER offers a comprehensive solution designed to eliminate human error, ensure micron-level precision, and optimise the entire production process. ZOLLER’s automated tool presetting and inspection systems guarantee consistent quality, as well as providing real-time insights to identify, rectify and prevent any potential scrap.
Three key ways ZOLLER will reduce annual scrap rates
1. Eliminate operator error
Manual tool measurements and data interpretation is unreliable and can result in high levels of inaccuracy and high levels of scrap. ZOLLER’s automated tool presetting and inspection systems standardise these processes, eliminating any operator reliance or opportunity for error.
2. Right-first-time components
Large amounts of scrap are a result of out of tolerance tooling which not only produces scrap components but can also result in damaged tooling. ZOLLER’s digitalised tool measurement and inspection technology guarantees that only accurate tooling enters production to ensure accurate components and minimal scrap rates.
3. Improved component quality
ZOLLER’s tool presetting solutions significantly reduce annual scrap rates by ensuring that all production tooling meets the strict tolerance requirements before use. This pre-emptive quality control guarantees only correct tooling is utilised, providing confidence that the machine is manufacturing with precision and consistency to minimise the likelihood of any scrap.
