Non-Contact Tool Monitoring The Techna-Check® is a Tool Monitoring system designed to use the PWM series power transducers or the VM series vibration transducers to determine if there is a Broken, Dull or Missing tool. The PWM measures true power on a machine spindle or axis motor. It can be used on standard motors, AC servo motors, variable frequency drives and DC drives. The VM uses an...

Tool Monitoring That Works! TECHNA-CHECK® The TECHNA-CHECK interfaces to the machine control and is given a 24vdc or Profibus signal from the machine to tell the unit when to start monitoring. Depending on the system being used, it can learn up to 128 different cutting profiles. The tool selection is done via 24vdc binary inputs, which are typically given using M-codes/custom macro or by using Profibus. Once the unit has been told to monitor, the system will measure the power that is used just to turn the spindle (labeled as Idle Consumption in graph below). The unit then learns the amount...

Techna-Check® Monitoring Software The Windows based TECHNA-CHECK® TTMON program is a powerful tool monitoring software for use on PC systems. The software is required for use with the PCI & USB systems. • Collects numerical and graphical data which can later be exported or viewed to determine if there were any faults or problem parts. • The software opens a separate window for every unit (motor) which graphically displays the progress of the tool monitoring and allows for the easy adjustment of monitoring parameters. • All parameters from the system can be backed up on the hard disk and...

These systems use USB or PCI to interface with a Windows based CNC control or into a standalone computer. They are capable of monitoring up to 128 different cutting processes per sensor and can network up to 20 sensors/channels back to a single unit. • Convenient configuration with TTMON Windows based software • Available pre-installed in industrial PC with touch screen for retrofit applications • 1-20 motors/sensors can be connected to a single USB or PCI card • Monitors 1-128 tools or cutting processes per motor • Independent limits for Break, Blunt, Missing and Idle supervision • Curve...

The TC6400 series units are standalone systems capable of monitoring between 1-8 motors with one unit. Each channel has the capability to monitor up to 64 unique tools or cutting processes. They have an 8” color display and all programming can easily be done through the face of the unit without the need for an external PC. Common Features • Built in 8” color display and membrane keyboard • Monitors 1-64 tools or cutting processes per motor • Parameter setup is done through the front plate of the unit • Panel door mounted or custom enclosure available • Independent limits for Break, Blunt,...

TECHNA-CHECK® Ultra Fast & Precise Transducers The Ultra-fast Techna-Check transducers are developed specifically for Machine Tool Monitoring applications and can monitor both AC and DC loads. These sensors mount in the electrical cabinet of the machine and communicate with the Techna-Check units using the proprietary TTBUS network. • Technologically advanced three-phase sensors guarantee exact measurements of the input or output supply of a motor drive by measuring true power (P = √3 x U x I x Cosϕ) • Vibration sensors are available to sense damage to tools or improper spindle balance •...
