Key Features of One Spindle Machining Center And Special Machine

• Often critical machining performed with small and fragile tools must be monitor.
• The measurement accuracy associates with an original processing method,
• WattPilote monitors all tools, even the smaller: control 0.07 second machining with 1mm drill on20kW spindle becomes real.
• The objectives of real time machining monitoring are, to avoid rejects, to increase tools life and to reduce time of machine stop.
• The `high-performance` machine shops or machining centres with pallet changer, can work by themselves :when tool wear or breakage detection, the machine stops, changes the tool by a new one, then starts again machining whether on the same part, whether on following part.
• Only one box, containing sensors of measurement and data-processing part, is connected into the electric cabinet: the system is very compact, easy to install and insensitive to the perturbations due to the machining conditions [cutting oil, swarf, temperature, vibrations, electromagnetic pollution].
• First of all designed for machining monitoring, WattPilote can also periodically
• Perform cycle to get spindle signature to detect mechanical fault: ball-bearing wear, lubricant.
• The Visu-CN-C software is a real tool of diagnostic and supervision. User-friendly, it is loaded on the numeric control. The user displays machining cycles; tools wear condition and fault curves. He can modify the control tolerances, acknowledge fault and tools change.
