RFID for Mold and Die Management
 Mold and die identification, modification, and usage data are critical to the efficiency, quality and operation of today’s metal forming and stamping processes. Hard-wired identification solutions are prone to damage, miss-identification and breakage when dies are installed and used and do not provide a means of storing data with the mold or die. With Balluff’s industrial RFID, all this data can be stored with the die or mold and the data read is transferred to a control system automatically every time the mold or die is used. This prevents costly damage due to improper matching or poor quality from excessive use without upkeep.
Start your selection here:
Step 1: Select your data carrier (from tables below)
- Robust, flexible, environmentally rugged - BIS C
- Lower cost, low memory capacity, read-only options - BIS L
- Long range, ISO compliant, high speed - BIS M
Step 2: Select read/write heads(using links below each chart) Step 3: Select processors (using links below each chart)
