Thanks to the fundamental redevelopment of its in-house process monitoring system, WFL has significantly expanded its range of functions. With the new WFL iControl system, process signals can be registered, evaluated and recorded in the CNC-kernel of the control with the maximum sampling rate. The introduction of new monitoring strategies, such as so-called "yellow limits," results in considerable advantages in tool breakage and tool wear monitoring. Another new feature is the option of integrating external sensors into process monitoring. The latter allows, for example, continuous monitoring and recording of performance data from coolant pumps or conclusions about the condition of spindle bearings.
