ToolControl

The intel­li­gent tool change box detects when a tool is removed​. ToolCon­trol then automa­ti­cally calls up the correct sequence programme.

In the case of external preset­ting – e.g. by the control system – ToolCon­trol shows the operator which tool is currently required in
the process.
