The ToolConnect machine tool data management system revolutionizes the accuracy and efficiency of CNC operations by eliminating human error and significantly reducing setup times. This advanced system is designed to automate the transfer of presetter measured tool data directly to and from the CNC control, using both RFID and 2D barcode technologies. Each ToolConnect system is uniquely configured to meet specific customer requirements and tool load processes, ensuring optimal performance. The RFID system involves embedding tags in tool holders to automatically update offsets and tool life data, while the 2D barcode system seamlessly transfers measurement data using printed tags. ToolConnect is MTConnect compliant, making it easy to integrate with any supervisory software for real-time data sharing. The intuitive user-interface guides operators through all necessary steps, confirming successful completion at each stage to enhance precision and streamline operations.

The DTect-IT CNC Sensor Analysis System combines high-precision machine tool sensor technology with advanced analysis capability to detect and (depending on the application), correct anomalies occurring in the machining process. Using a multitude of machine tool sensor options, the user can monitor specific parameters to alarm and signal the CNC when irregularities are present. DTect-IT applications can range from monitoring high-resolution power to detect tool wear and breakage, to monitoring spindle bearing health using vibration analysis, and even detecting surface roughness using a Digilog probe sensor input. Plus, with the advanced historical viewer, all machine tool sensor and monitoring data is recorded and accessible to analyze, compare, and trend data over time.
