Communicating with the CNC controller

The solution

Before or when the tool is introduced into the spindle, the RFID chip reads out the actual tool parameters. Alternately the data can be read in when tools are placed in the tool store chain or magazine. In both cases the CNC controller gets all the current tool data in real time.

The features

• Optimal tool utilization because it is reworked at the right time
• Reduced storage levels
• Lowers costs
