VERSION HISTORY

Summary

Before cutting, Caron Engineering’s tool data management system, ToolConnect, will automate the process of loading tools into the machine. ToolConnect reads and processes data from presetter written RFID tags, and 2D printed barcode tags to automatically update tool information directly to the CNC control, and further prevents a wrong tool from being loaded into the machine.
