Today’s modern machining centers frequently usefully automated CNC programmable systems. These machines are often used to produce application critical and expensive parts; aerospace components come to mind. It is important to guarantee that a part is processed with the right tool, that the CNC controller has received the correct setup parameters, and that the controller is running the proper program.
The exact selection of the right tool is accomplished using an RFID tag that is permanently mounted on the tool carrier. The tool carrier and tool are said to be “married” and form a unit. With this information the work process, the installed tool, and the selected CNC program can be verified.
Using the RFID data, a verification check is performed before the machining process begins. With this process in place, almost scrap-free processing of parts and minimal machine downtime,plusfast, automatic setup and changeover can be accomplished.
This application is particularly well addressed using the IDENTControlCompact interface in conjunction with small read heads and fully-embeddable RFID tags. Those parts can be integrated without the fear of interference. Reliable operation, even under the harshest application conditions, is assured.RFID interfaces supporting commonly available industrial communication networks make this a global solution.
IDENTControlCompact industrial RFID satisfies the requirements of machine tool builders world wide: Robust, reliable, and with support for all commonly-used communication interfaces.
