How you can apply

 Automatic Process Monitoring to replace worn tools, avoid crashes, and reduce costs with lean manufacturing

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

MULTI-SPINDLE AUTOMATICS AND DIAL MACHINES

Use STRAIN/FORCE sensors on cam levers to monitor changes in force

Use ACOUSTIC EMISSION and VIBRATION sensors on tool holders, slides and spindles to monitor tool wear and breakage
