This can be done in a number of ways, from writing it on the back of your hand and tapping it in on a control keyboard to fully automatic with a data chip technology. One is very secure and the othe not so....
Data chips use a programable EEPROM to allow data such as T Number, T Life, Dia, Length, Rad, Main T, Sister T and more. to be edited, written and read. This technology safeguards the data transfer and tool identification at the machine, elliminating errors and saving time.
