Measured tool data is printed on a label, which identi- fies the measured tool and its specifications. Afterwards the data can be read via scanner or stored on an RFID chip in the toolholder with the Zoller tool identification system and read by the machine control once the tool is replaced in the toolchanger. Tool data may also be directly transferred from the tool presetting and measuring machine to the machine control. Zoller offers the connection to more than 100 different machine-readable output formats.
The automatically generated inspection reports, detailing
tool life and tool usage, and recording the number of parts a holder has cut, has been valuable information to Cummins, which has used the data to improve its efficiency and control tools costs.
Cummins uses the RFID chip to provide tool identification information to the machine tool, including how heavy the tool is which affects how quickly tool change can occur. There is also a read/write station for manual reading and writing the
The Zoller redomatic 600 has dramatically improved the speed and accuracy of tool exchanges at Cummins Engine.
