Caron Engineering ToolConnect RFID and Bar Code Scanning Systems make loading tools faster, efficient, and error free!

One operator error could result in huge financial setbacks for manufacturers. Caron Engineering have the technology to make loading tools faster, more efficient, and error-free! At the Morris Midwest Open House, Ryan Hegman from Caron Engineering explains the new ToolConnect RFID system and 2D Bar Code Scanning system. ToolConnect automatically transfers tool presetter measurement data to the CNC control through RFID chips within tools. The fail-safe application also offers massive time savings and data analysis. With tool life recorded, operators can see how much tool life is left and prevent accidental tool reloading. A new feature is the 2D bar code scanner that can interact with the system in the same way as RFID hardware. Both applications offer great benefits for quick and efficient data transfer, but how does RFID and bar code scanning differ? Catch Tony and Ryan as they discuss the process, benefits, and differences.
