An automatic Tool ID system removes error prone manual steps from the tool selection and loading process and provides a complete record of tool offset and life information on the tool. It's like the tool carries its own pedigree with it at all times. With automatic tool ID, incorrect, manually entered data that can cause expensive tool crashes, broken tools or spindles, setup errors and bad quality parts can be eliminated. Automatic tool ID with the use of an RFID equipped tool presetter can also provide greater cost savings by maximizing tool life and providing the foundation for an automated tool room and reorder system.
