ToolRec

Product catalog summary

Introduction
ToolRec is a wireless detection system designed to automate the identification of work tools connected to construction machines. It utilizes Tool Recognition Modules (TRMs) that communicate wirelessly with a cabin module to identify tools via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This system is crucial for the automation of work tool carrying machines, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.

Tool Recognition System
The ToolRec system automatically detects connected work tools using BLE and advanced algorithms. It integrates with the machine's control systems through an open CAN bus interface, allowing for seamless information sharing across various applications.

Applications

Tiltrotator Control Systems: ToolRec optimizes tiltrotator performance by adjusting settings based on the connected tool, reducing fuel consumption.
3D Machine Control Systems: The system facilitates faster tool changes and minimizes errors by automatically adjusting machine settings.
Excavator Control Systems: ToolRec can switch between different profile settings for hydraulic tools, optimizing performance and reducing fuel use.

Technical Specifications

ToolRec Hub: Acts as a bridge between Bluetooth and CAN networks, featuring multiple CAN ports and digital inputs.
ToolRec Module (TRM): Mounted on tools, providing a unique ID via BTLE, equipped with an accelerometer and gyroscope.

Electrical and Environmental Data
The system operates at various voltages and is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, with ratings for water/dust resistance, temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock.

Compliance and Standards
ToolRec complies with multiple international standards, including RED, RoHS, WEEE, FCC, and LVD, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility.

Conclusion
ToolRec enhances the automation of construction equipment by providing reliable tool recognition and integration with control systems, leading to improved efficiency and reduced operational costs.

TOOL RECOGNITION ToolRec is the key to the ongoing automation of work tool carrying machines. Automating functions today are completely dependent on knowing which work tool is connected to the machine. Small durable Tool Recognition Modules (TRMs) are mounted on the tools and assigned unique IDs. The TRM communicates wirelessly via a module in the cab and can be integrated with other systems and share information on connected work tools.

HOW IT WORKS ToolRec is a wireless tool recognition system that automatically detects which work tool is used on a construction equipment machine via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). Using a signal from the cabin’s quick coupler switch, a cabin module and a work tool module and in combination with advanced algorithms, the system can automatically identify which work tool is connected to the machine. Bluetooth® is a registered trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of the term in this text is for descriptive purposes only.

T o o l R e c – WIRELESS DETEC TION OF CONNEC TED WORK TOOLS Tiltrotator control systems The tiltrotator is an increasingly common attachment for excavators and is often controlled by a separate control system. These systems may also have to adjust their settings depending on which work tool is connected to the tiltrotator. With ToolRec in combination with tiltrotator control systems developed by SVAB, each ToolRec module can be configured with custom tiltrotator speeds. This helps the operator to always get the optimum performance of his tiltrotator and ensures minimal fuel consumption. With...
