Marposs: ANNOUNCES GEMGP STAND-ALONE TOOL MONITORING SOLUTION

摘要

Marposs has announced its new Artis GEMGP stand-alone solution for detecting process anomalies during metal cutting in machine tools. By measuring force and strain, GEMGP is able to detect and report on tool breakage, missing tools, overload, tool wear and fluid flow in real time. This helps to prevent damage to the machine, reduce scrap and improve productivity. The GEMGP can accommodate two sensors for measuring force and strain values obtained from the spindle during the machining process. A highly flexible solution, the GEMGP offers three different monitoring strategies and can handle up to 127 different cutting cycles with varying types of limits for each cycle. Any events that exceed the pre-fixed limits are recorded in a log-file.
