Balluff: RFID for tool identification

The Fanuc miLink Tool ID interface from Balluff is designed to interconnect and automate the entering and tracking of tooling information to a Fanuc based CNC from a Balluff RFID Tool ID system.

Mar 31, 2010

The module is a bolt-on solution, requiring no modifications to the Fanuc CNC control. The miLink is flexible, easy to install, and simple to configure—the engineering has been put inside the box. Additionally, the miLink is industrially hardened and does not require any ladder or Macro programming.
