RFID Tool Change Management for CNC | Tools and Fixtures Identified Automatically (3D Animation)
About this video
A 3D animation of the WS-RFID-DRILL reading the RFID identity of a CNC tool holder at tool change; every change is checked automatically to cut wrong-tool errors.
- Tool holders, drill bits and fixtures each carry an RFID identity that is read at tool change.
- The tool read is checked against the job and flagged if it does not match.
- Tool usage can be reported to the system for life and maintenance tracking.
