Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document outlines the advanced capabilities of patented cutting force measurement technologies, specifically the spike®_polar and spike®_kpi, designed to enhance digital machining processes.

Specifications
The technologies measure axial force, torsion, bending moment, and temperature, providing insights into process status to maintain surface quality. They are suitable for various machining processes including milling, drilling, threading, grinding, turning, and friction stir welding (FSW).

Procedures and Applications
  • Process Optimization: The tools optimize process parameters, increase productivity, tool life, and quality, and reduce costs.
  • Wear Detection: Detects wear on cutting edges, tool breakage, and vibrations, with alarm notifications via the spike®_app.
  • Automated Production: Integrates with machines for inline quality control, adaptive feed rate controls, and automatic tool changes based on wear.

Technological Features
  • Plug and Play: Quick setup with manual or automated start/stop commands.
  • Data Analysis: Offers extensive analysis, comparison functions, and reporting capabilities compatible with Microsoft Windows.
  • Connectivity: Permanent machine connection via Ethernet, M-command, or Profibus, with multi-user capability and historical data retrieval.

Visualisation and Monitoring
  • Visualisation of relative forces and process-specific measurements with wireless transmission capabilities.
  • Spindle-integrated sensor solutions for high-frequency measurements and spindle protection.

Conclusion
The spike® technologies provide comprehensive solutions for process monitoring and optimization in digital machining, enhancing efficiency and quality across various applications.
