Zoller will premiere its latest automation and new micro-tool inspection systems andshowcase its complete system of manufacturing-efficiency solutions at IMTS 2026.
In addition to presenting the new Zoller “micBox” and “pomBasic MTI”, Zoller will display itsrange of tool presetting, inspection, measuring, heat-shrinking, balancing, tooling, toolmanagement, data-transfer, and automation technologies at Booth W-432018.
Zoller’s show theme “Smart. Manufacturing. Made Simple.” will demonstrate how the company’ssystem of integrated solutions can improve efficiency for manufacturers of every size and in almost every industry vertical.
“For more than 80 years, Zoller has been a pioneer in developing technology to optimize processes around cutting tools,” said Alexander Zoller, president of Zoller Inc. “Today, we are proud to provide acomplete roadmap to efficient manufacturing from CAM to finished part that can benefit manufacturers in every market segment.”
Below are highlights IMTS attendees can experience at Zoller’s booth:
Automation: Making its world premiere at IMTS 2026, the Zoller “micBox” fully automates indexable insert handling on milling tools, including tool identification, insert indexing, rotating, flipping,replacement and fastening-screw changes. With optional AI-supported “wearCheck”, the systemevaluates each cutting edge and determines whether an insert should remain in use, be indexed orreplaced.
Tool heat shrinking and balancing: Zoller’s “powerShrink” can heat-shrink tools in less than 60 seconds,thanks to its unique induction coil. The “toolBalancer” balances toolholders, tool assemblies, andgrinding wheels within 0.4 gram millimeters.
Tool management: Live demonstrations of Zoller TMS Tool Management Solutions software and storagesolutions will be available. A team of Zoller experts will be on hand to advise manufacturers ondeployment roadmaps for total tool management and share best practices for implementing best toolroom processes.
Toolholders: Zoller toolholders, a recent addition to the company’s portfolio, are consistently ratedabove DIN requirements, Zoller CAT, CATD, BT, BTD, HSK, PSC, and high-performance toolholders are fine-balanced to G2.5 at 25,000 rpm or to a maximum unbalance of less than 1 gram millimeter.
Data transfer: Zoller will demonstrate its expanded “z.DMI” technology for direct communication with a wide range of CNC machine-tool controls. The Zoller direct machine interface provides a secure andreliable method for transferring tool data from a presetting and measuring machine to numerous CNC machine-tool controls all without stopping the machine.
Tool presetting, inspection and measuring: Also making its world premiere at IMTS 2026 is the newZoller “pomBasic MTI”. MTI stands for micro tool inspection and offers a compact, production-integrated solution for inspecting and measuring micro-tools.
Zoller will also celebrate excellence in toolroom technology at IMTS 2026 through the North AmericanZoller Toolroom of the Year competition. The competition recognizes Zoller customers who demonstrate outstanding achievement in toolroom organization, connectivity, interfaces, and theimplementation of advanced technologies. It highlights companies using integrated systems and intelligent processes to improve efficiency, transparency, and productivity throughout the tool lifecycle. The 2026 winners will be announced on September 17 at the Zoller booth.
