RFID Omega TMM Presetters can transmit data to an RFID chip either manually or with our fully automated RFID system. When a machine center utilizes RFID to maintain and update tool data and information, transmitting tool offset values and other information from the Presetter to the RFID chip on the tool holder is the best way to input this data. When appropriately equipped, an Omega TMM Presetter can automatically identify a tool in the spindle by reading the RFID tag, immediately run an automatic measuring routine, and then write specific tool data back to the RFID tag with the click of a single button. POST PROCESSOR The Post Processor in OPTIK allows for one-way communication from the OPTIK database directly to a machine center controller, to update data such as tool offsets and supporting information. The Omega TMM Applications team can write custom post templates to integrate to a machine center that allows for a process that does not depend on users manually typing data into the controller. Mitigating the opportunity for user error results in fewer mistakes like mistyped offset values, while at the same time allowing for the immediate transfer of all information that would alternatively need to be manually entered or updated each time a tool is loaded. VERI-GRIND SOFTWARE The VERI-GRIND module and VERI-GRIND machines were created to capture tool profiles and automatically align multiple profiles in a set. Within the module, the cutting profile is captured for one or multiple tools in a set. These profiles are then layered and can be automatically adjusted using the “Best Fit” feature, which will take into account the thickness of material being grinded, and will position each tool to achieve the desired profile. The tool measurements can be printed, posted, or written to the tool via RFID and loaded into the machine center, ready for production.
