Function
Tool recognition
ToolRec is a system for wireless tool recognition on excavators. The system identifies which tool is con-
nected to the excavator’s attachment or to the tiltrotator’s attachment. Quantum is based on each tool
being equipped with a compact and robust battery-powered device (TRM) that communicates wirelessly
with a controller in the cabin (cabin module).
The tiltrotator and / or machine quick coupler is connected to the system to detect when a change of
tools occurs. In cases where the machine is equipped with a Quantum or MACS RT based tiltrotator
control system, the information is shared when a tool change under the tiltrotator through the CAN bus.
When initiating a change, the system starts scanning for moving tools. The system uses several smart
conditions to identify the correct tools.
CAN-bus - interface towards external systems
The cabin module can transmit the information to other control systems in the excavator via CAN bus.
This way, these systems can adapt to each tool.
GPS/3D machine control system
An example of function is to automatically indicate the correct tool for the machine’s GPS / 3D machine
control system without the operator having to manually enter it. This input can be used to automatically
change theMachine Control System settings to the connected work tool. This provides quicker tool-
changes and eliminates potential error sources and expensive rework. The Tool RecognitionModules
(TRMs) can also store information on the work tool’s unique measurements anddimensions if local work
tool data storage is preferred.
