Applications, areas of application and functionality
-
Process monitoring
-
Tool monitoring (tool breakage, tool wear, tool missing)
-
Collision detection - Collision detection in realtime & immediately forcing machine hard-stop (< 1 millisecond!) minimizes damage to spindles, tools, workpieces and other parts of the machine.
-
Measuring of vibration, acoustic emission, force, power, and frequency to detect process irregularities
-
Tools, also less than 3 mm in diameter
-
Detection of micro-breakouts on cutting inserts • Thread quality
-
Strong fluctuations allowance
-
Material differences (micro-cavities, inclusions, ...)
