摘要

"INTELLIGENT TOOL MACHINE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE LIFE CYCLE OF A COLD CONFORMING TOOL IN A COLD CONFORMING SYSTEM". A machine tool system (30) includes a tool (32) for cold forming a workpiece over an operating cycle, and a sensor device (40) that senses each tool's operating cycle (32) . The identification data for the tool (32) and the operating data for the tool (32) are stored in an electronic device (34) mounted fixed to the tool (32). At least one interface device (46) provides communication with the electronic device (34) and the sensor device (40).
