And possibly a lead out (exit) feedrate when cutting cast iron to prevent chipping on exit. One is Gun Drilling, which might be more correctly called a starting feedrate. The ZOLLER Interface in CAMWorks decreases manual entry of tool data and streamlines tool management.I can think of very few instances where a lead in feedrate in any axis is needed or used. The setup sheet assists with tools assembly, measurement and sending measured values to the machine for cutting the parts. Once a part model is programmed, the ZOLLER Interface generates a setup sheet that includes a list of tools used for the part. 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 CAMWorks. 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. 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 CAMWorks. With the ZOLLER Interface in CAMWorks, tool data is standardized and the exchange of data between the two software systems is automated.

The ZOLLER Interface supplies customers with advanced tool database management options, an overview of available tools, and eliminates the need to maintain multiple tool databases. HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global technology company, announces the implementation of ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions Interface in HCL CAMWorks software.
