Full process control with ToolScope

• Process data is captured, visually dipslayed and evaluated by ToolScope
• Deviations are identified in real time
• ToolScope optimizes your manufacturing processes automatically

• The machine status is monitored for maintenance purposes
• If impact collisions occur, an emergency stop is triggered (airbag for the machine)
• Overloading of the tool and the machine tool can be prevented

• Tool life analysis (data about the use of the tool is captured)
• Machining time analysis (analysis of machine downtimes and the reasons for them)
• 100% control of the workpiece: critical process parameters are documented (ensures the quality level)

ToolScope automatically learns the optimum process flow and responds to deviations in the machining operation.

• Detection of tool breakage
• Reduces resultant damage to the tool, workpiece and machine
• Can be quickly and easily adapted to the production processes
• Enables unmanned production through 100% control of workpiece

ToolScope identifies worn tools based on the average process force. This makes it possible to fully exploit the reserve of the tool.

• Reduces tool costs / tool breakages
• Increases machine availability
• Optimizes tool usage

Feed control accelerates the process where it is safe to do so and simultaneously protects the tool by intercepting load peaks. 

• Reduces cycle times and provides overload protection
• Increases the tool life
• Increases machine availability

Collision detection detects impact collisions during G0 and jog mode through an acceleration sensor. An emergency stop is triggered in less than 1 ms to prevent major damage.

• Reduces repair costs
• Reduces machine downtime
• Documents collisions

This captures the "fingerprint“ of the machine, allowing machine status trends to be displayed. Observing the trend makes it easier for the maintenance team to implement the required action.

• Early identification of bearing damage to axes and spindles
• Support in planning maintenance measures and troubleshooting

Records tool usage based on the number of pieces machined or the tool life counter to reduce administrative workload. Analyzing deviations in the tool life allows potential areas for optimization to be identified.

Records machine production data and saves this data for further analysis. Production data includes machine downtimes and the reasons for this. The analysis of this data can enable large productivity increases.

Monitoring and real-time documentation as proof of quality for critical processes. Special monitoring standards "GEP11TF12“ and "MTV548-4“ for the aerospace industry to assure quality standards are also supported.

When ToolScope is incorporated in a company network, data can be automatically transferred to a server or network drive. This guarantees long-term data storage, an automated back-up function and remote access.

Watch the video to see our X5G-Z vice compared to a competitive vice. We proved the functionality of the dampers with a vibration sensor which is evaluated in ToolScope. The aim was to achieve the best possible surfaces with the 5-axis vice, heavy duty chuck with SilverLine cutter and with the process monitoring tool Toolscope.
