Today’s machining centers and systems are designed to provide maximum productivity with minimum downtime and scrap. Balluff’s industrial RFID-based tool ID allows you to take full advantage of today’s advanced machining center capabilities to maximize your investment and productivity. Balluff’s tool RFID methodology removes human error from the process to reliably automate the exchange of tool data between presetter and machine to create a truly visible closed loop production system. Now each tool carries its individual data such as tool life, tool chain pocket location, and offset data, as an individual pedigree. This prevents incorrect manually entered data from causing a loss of tool productivity, increased scrap, and in some cases, it even prevents damage to the tool or machine itself.
