Machine tools Sensors and systems for machine tools Machine tools are often used as diligent helpers in almost all manufacturing companies in this world. The machine tool sector is divided into the main fields of cutting and forming (turning, milling, drilling, grinding, sawing) as well as joining machines. These processes are divided into the ‘wet’- i.e. flooded with coolant, – MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) and ‘dry’ working. ifm sensors can be used in all applications. The topics “energy efficiency” and “quality assurance” are currently the focus of a lot of attention. Here again, ifm...
