The IC Code System is a non-contact auto-identification
checking system that matches the needs of the information
society.
This system can read information data encoded on IC chips
using a non-contact method. Accordingly, by equipping the
system in tools housed in a machine toolholder, it can prevent
machine tool attachment mistakes, perform automatic registration
of offset information and realize accurate location control.
The IC Code chip is managed using 20 decimal numbers and
can be read from a distance of up to 70cm via an IC code
antenna connected to a PC, etc. Unlike with barcode systems,
it can be used effectively even in difficult environments,
so we expect it to be employed in a wide range of industrial
fields in the future.
