In a visually compelling demonstration, this 3-minute video shows how a dot matrix code on the body of a toolholder enables critical information about the cutting tool to be captured, moved about the factory safely and updated promptly on a central database. Although the video focuses on secure data exchange among a FANUC CNC machine, a Zoller tool presenter/measuring machine and a tool storage unit via a scannable dot matrix code on a Schunk toolholder, the video retains its clear instructional value.
