In unmanned shift operation, but also in normal production routines involving operators, automatic tool monitoring not only prevents expensive damage, but also unnecessary spoilage.
Characteristics
- Monitoring of tool breakage and overload during the machining process
- Evaluation of process signals from the digital drives, no additional sensors required
- Assignment of various monitoring processes (e.g. fixed limit, travelling threshold) and responses per tool
- Complete integration of basic monitoring in the Sinumerik 840D user interface, incl. machine preparation
Benefits
- More process reliability: complete monitoring and data for each tool current at all times
- Fewer unplanned failures, fewer downtimes: proactive and controlled tool replacement
- Lower costs: no expensive response to tool breakage and machine protected against overload
Requirements
- SIEMENS Powerline
- SIEMENS Solutionline
- Tools with the appropriate power and torque input, i.e. drilling from a depth of approx. 6-8 mm depending on the main spindle type and the machining process
