Process monitoring equipment measures the machining process in real time through strategically placed sensors on your machine tool. The outputs sensors are continuously compared against a master machine cycle, which has been stored as a representative of a good machine cycle. If the signal deviates from the master cycle and pre-set tolerance limit, an alarm is generated the system alerts the operator and if necessary stop the production process.

Argotech process monitoring systems can be used on almost all machine processes, for detecting axis - spindle overload, tool wear - breakage, crash detection, high vibration levels, strain, deflection etc, to conducting automated product dimension checks and capturing machine efficiency and performance data.

» Faults / Problems are picked up instantly
» Production of scrap parts is almost eliminated
» Machine repair costs are minimized.
» Built-in trend analysis allows you to reduce operational costs such as premature tool replacements and inspection requirements.
» As the system offers continuous monitoring of the machine tool it can be run at full capacity even during shift changes and through personnel breaks.
» Relieving the operator and quality department of many inspection tasks so that their time can be better utilised elsewhere.

Some applications offer a payback for the system in less than 1 year. See datasheet for full details
