RFID chip
Intelligent tool networking in a new form
Hasco hot runner is advancing digital networking in mold making: The proven RFID chip A5910/... is now integrated into a high-quality, printed aluminum plate and complements the hot runner systems in the form of the H1400/... nameplate as a helper.
The robust component with compact dimensions of 20 x 80 x 4 mm can be screwed directly to the tool and remains permanently attached to it - so it cannot be lost or swapped.
The RFID chip can be read at any time without contact using an NFC-enabled end device. All relevant data such as CAD drawings, parts lists, specifications or test reports can be called up directly via the Hasco app, even when tools are installed. The standard operating temperature is up to 80 °C. At higher temperatures, the label can be easily attached to the plenum box, for example.
The new H1400/... RFID tags are now not only used with hot halves and wired systems, but are also included with pure hot runners. The required installation space is clearly indicated in the data transmitted in advance and can already be taken into account in the mold design, allowing the benefits of the technology to be used even if no hot side is ordered. Another plus: systems that have already been delivered can be retrofitted with the RFID tag without much effort.
The digital parts lists are now also directly linked to the Hasco online store. This allows registered users to order spare parts within seconds. Delivery usually takes place within 24 hours, reducing downtimes to a minimum. According to Hasco, RFID technology is integrated into new systems at no extra cost and enables simple, fast and forgery-proof identification.
