Tool management from Balluff makes the FANUC system more efficient

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: BALLUFF/BALLUFF

In modern manufacturing workshops, as expensive consumable resources, tools play a pivotal role in the flexibility, productivity and precision and high reliability of workshop manufacturing. In particular, the popularization and application of complex high-precision CNC equipment has put forward more stringent requirements for tool identification and condition monitoring, and the mistake of a tool change will cause serious consequences such as tool damage and machine tool damage.

At the same time, the transformation of the production mode from large-scale rigid production to multi-variety and small-batch production and single-piece production mode has intensified the number and circulation speed of tools in the workshop, and put forward higher requirements for the real-time monitoring and management of tools in the workshop. Seeking an efficient and reliable way to identify and manage tools in the workshop is a difficult problem for manufacturing enterprises to solve.

What is the tool information stored

The data stored in the chip of the Balluff Industrial Identification RFID system shall contain the following 3 categories:

(1) Identity information: determine the unique identification of the tool, throughout the entire tool use process, to ensure that the correct tool appears in the correct position, to avoid tool misuse;

(2) Process information: record the process parameters of the tool and assist the processing personnel to complete the CNC programming;

(3) Management information: including the life information and status of the tool during the whole use process.

The FANUC system is connected to the Balluff hardware
Tool management from Balluff makes the FANUC system more efficient
The Balluff coding block in the tool holder is to write the tool information to the tool instrument, and the format of the information is stored by the BCD code and ASCII code two formats, so the data directly read to the CNC can not be directly applied and displayed, for this reason, the second function of the C actuator is to process the data in the above two formats, so that the CNC system can easily use these data.

The purpose of the RFID system for CNC machine tools is to monitor and manage the tools, prepare the required tools for machining, and avoid the occurrence of tool phenomena such as downtime. The combination of the FANUC system and Balluff tool management has been proven in many ways and is used in many factories to increase plant productivity and reduce management costs.
