Overview

Elevate Your Data Transfer Efficiency with Integrated Technologies
 
We understand the importance of a seamless data transfer process between presetters and CNC machine tools. By harnessing the power of our RFID technology, QR-code systems and DNC data transfer, you can optimise your CNC production workflow with a process-reliable method of transferring tool data to your machines.
 
With the KELCH EASY and KOne software systems on the presetting machine, it is also possible to deliver real-time integrations to advanced tool management systems such as TDM and manufacturing execution systems such as FASTEMS.
 
The industry-proven KELCH measuring softwares ensures that you can always save tool-based data and transmit it to the right place. It does not matter whether the data comes from machine controls, tool management programs, CAD/CAM systems or other manufacturing systems. We have dozens of "off-the-shelf" interface solutions ready and available to connect with your external system. Due to the flexible design of the software, it is also possible to develop a customised integration or special process which is tailored to your specific requirements.

DATA TRANSFER Overview Image

Technical

RFID Technology
 
(Balluff, Euchner, Pepperl & Fuchs...)
Store tool ID, measured values and other machine-specific data on an RFID chip mounted to the tool holder.
Integrating Balluff RFID technology into our presetters and CNC machine-tools facilitates the automatic and error-free exchange of tooling information. This advanced solution offers the following benefits:
 
  • Real-time tool identification and tracking
  • Seamless transfer of tool data, such as tool dimensions and wear information
  • Improved inventory management and tool life monitoring
  • Ability to write residual tool life back to tool chip after machining
  • Minimised tool setup time and increased operational efficiency

QR Code Scanning
 
(Barcode, QR-code, Data Matrix...)
Store tool ID, or complete set of measurement and machine-specific data on a 2D QR-code.
Our QR code printing and scanning capability ensures a swift and accurate transfer of tool data from presetters to CNC machine tools. By simply scanning QR codes, you can:
 
  • Eliminate manual data entry and reduce human errors
  • Expedite the tool setup process
  • Maintain consistency between presetters and machine tools
  • Enhance data accuracy and reliability for optimal machining results

DNC Output (Direct Numerical Control)
 
(Tool offsets to Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc...)
Package up your tool measurement data along with machine-specific data into a formatted text file or tool table and transfer directly to the machine via network, or through a separate DNC system.
Our DNC output solutions allows for direct and secure transfer of tool data from our presetters to CNC machine tools. By eliminating the need for manual data entry, this solution:
 
  • Minimises the risk of errors and inconsistencies
  • Enhances accuracy and precision
  • Saves valuable time during the setup process
  • Maximises productivity by reducing downtime

Third Party System Interfaces
 
(TDM System, Fastems, Mazak Smooth/CPC, Fastems, CosCom...)
Standard interfaces are available to a range of common tool management and manufacturing execution system which provide a secure 2-way process for transferring your data.
Our third party interfaces solutions ensures you are always using current tool data at the presetter to produce correct measurement results. Key benefits include:
 
  • Industry proven robust 2-way interfaces
  • Import nominal tool data to the presetter, then output measured value
  • Reliable and accurate data throughout the process
  • Increase production efficiency by eliminatnig redundant data

DATA TRANSFER OVERVIEW

Optional Integration Solutions - Fit for Industry 4.0! 
 
The industry-proven KELCH EASY measuring software ensures that you can always save tool-based data and transmit it to the right place. It does not matter whether the data comes from machine controls, tool management programs, CAD/CAM systems or other manufacturing systems. With EASY we have dozens of "off-the-shelf" interface solutions ready and available to connect with your external system. Due to the flexible design of the software, it is also possible to develop a customised integration or special process which is tailored to your specific requirements.
 
Interfaces are available using the following technologies and systems:

RFID Chip Systems
(Balluff, Euchner, Pepperl & Fuchs...)
Store tool ID, measured values and other machine-specific data on an RFID chip mounted to the tool holder

QR-Code, Data Matrix or Barcode Systems
Store tool ID, or complete set of measurement and machine-specific data on a 2D QR-code

DNC File Transfer
(Tool offsets to Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc...)
Package up your tool measurement data along with machine-specific data into a formatted text file or tool table and transfer directly to the machine via network, or through a separate DNC system

Third Party System Interfaces
(TDM System, Fastems, Mazak Smooth/CPC, Fastems, CosCom...)
Standard interfaces are available to a range of common tool management and manufacturing execution system which provide a secure 2-way process for transferring your data
Errors caused by incorrect input can be ruled out by sending the measured results directly to the machine control by post-processor via the network. This greatly enhances the process reliability and production efficiency. Along with the inclusion of tool identification this makes a significant contribution to process security when providing digital data exchange within your smart factory.
 
Using RFID or QR-code technologies greatly improves process reliability by having your tool and measurement data stored on the physical tool. Tools can easily be identified with the click of a button, and data can be transferred directly into the machine controller each time the tool is loaded into the magazine. RFID data chips have the additional benefit of being able to retain residual tool life once a tool is removed from the magazine, therefore improving tool utilisation.
