Tool life optimisation
28 February 2014
Specialist in sensor technology, Balluff, will show a complete tailored machine tool RFID Tool Retrofit solution, providing tool service life optimisation, quality assurance and reduction of set up times.

The system removes error prone manual steps from the tool selection and loading process, providing a complete record of tool offset and life information on the tool. Unlike manually entered data that can cause expensive tool crashes, broken tools or spindles, setup errors and bad quality parts, the tool carries its own information at all times for trouble free operation.
Another RFID demo will be a long range, UHF gate for real time tracking of manufacturing and logistics processes. Stand 5736
