Abstract
A coding system for elements of machine tools, particularly of the numerically controlled type, consisting of a "bar" code (14) applied to the element (10) to be coded, and read by a reading head (17) provided with a code detecting sensor (18) connected to a circuit for transforming the code into signals fed to utilization circuits (21, 26) which operate by comparing the read message with a set signal.
Claims6
A storage system for elements of machine tools, particularly of the numerically controlled type, comprising means (15) for storing a plurality of different said elements, a different "bar" code (14) carried by each different element, a reading head (17) for reading the different codes, and a code detection sensor (18) adapted to be juxtaposed successively with the various different elements to sense the code on the elements and to transmit to the reading head signals representative of the identity of the said element with which said sensor is juxtaposed.
