A kinetic energy conversion device of a punching machine includes a punching table, a power unit, an air compressor, a clutch, a gas storage tank, a pressure detector and a generator. The power unit, the air compressor, the clutch, the gas storage tank, the pressure detector, and the generator are all disposed on the punching table. The power unit drives the clutch, air compressor, and generator to generate electrical power and high pressure gas. Therefore, the air compressor can operate without using additional energy. Compared with conventional punching equipment and the air compressor externally disposed and connected to the punching equipment, a large amount of electricity cost can be saved, achieving a power saving effect.

A tooling system that includes a drive unit configured to provide rotational force to a tool member. The tool member is attached at a mount on the drive unit. A camera associated with the drive unit is aligned to capture a target on the tool member. The data is sent to a controller that identifies the tool member based on the target. The controller determines whether the tool member is correct for performing an operation on a work piece. If the tool member is correct, the controller may set one or more operating parameters on the drive unit. If the controller determines that the tool member is not correct, the drive unit is disabled. Further, a signal may be sent to inform an operator of the issue.
