 >SAS<
Automation Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) with
RFID tags to automatically ensure the correct
tooling is operating with the corresponding
operation and equipment. RFID is an automatic
identification method, relying on storing and
remotely retrieving data using RFID tags. >SAS<
has applied an RFID tag in a Robotic End-of-Arm
Tooling (EOAT) mounting plate to identify itself
when mounted and installed on a standard Quick
Change Mounting Chuck, mounted to the robot.

Important features of
this system are to identify the correct robotic EOAT
gripper is mounted to the robot running the applicable
program and confirm the rest of the critical equipment
is installed – including the correct die or mold in
stamping, plastics or packaging operations. RFID is
low cost insurance against robot, tooling and part
damage because it quickly ensures the correct tooling
is running. RFID tags prevent costly damage due to
system crashes, reduces labor costs, and are critical
during line change-overs.
>SAS< EOAT RFID has
built-in I/O capability up to 8 channels of RFID and
can be integrated into existing platforms, and
supports PROFIBUS ®-DP, DeviceNet ™, Modbus-TCP,
PROFINET and EtherNet/IP™. Furthermore the data
carriers use state-of-the-art FRAM storage technology
for virtually an unlimited number of write operations
and had high temperature data carriers rated up to
210°C.
