Collision and spindle monitoring for machine tools
UTCm records vibration events and supports the monitoring of collisions and spindle conditions. Recorded events help to track loads and evaluate anomalies. Together, we will check the appropriate integration into your machine.
UTCm documents loads and events on your machine, thus serving as a logbook for your spindle. This information supports root cause analysis and helps to trace anomalies during operation.
When integrated accordingly, a detected event can trigger a machine reaction and help limit consequential damage. The effectiveness depends on the sensor position, the set limits, and the machine's response.
With SAM (Smart Asset Monitoring), connected systems can be evaluated centrally. We will clarify the functions and requirements for your installation as part of the technical coordination.
Capture collision events UTCm records anomalous vibration events. How quickly this translates into a machine reaction depends on signal processing and integration into the control system.
Compact sensor The sensor features an M12×1 design and a length of 42 mm. The mounting location and installation conditions are determined to match the machine and the monitoring task.
Mitigate consequential damage Application-tailored monitoring can help limit the consequences of detected collisions. The economic benefit depends on the specific application and the potential damage and downtime costs.
Support maintenance Documented events and stress histories provide additional information for condition assessment. They support the planning of inspections and maintenance measures.
UTCm can log events during machine transport. The records help you trace unusual loads and investigate potential causes of damage. We will determine which measured variables are recorded and what prerequisites apply to transport monitoring for your specific application.
For effective monitoring, the sensor, evaluation unit, and machine connection must be compatible. To review your application, we need the following information:
Machine manufacturer, type and year of manufacture
Control system and spindle used
Machining processes and typical loads
Previous collisions or other abnormalities
Desired application: operation, maintenance or transport
Together we will clarify the suitable installation location, the available interfaces, and the possible reaction of the machine.
