Function
•
Data are captured either electronically or via external sensors
(e.g. for force, torque, vibration)
•
Comparison of the current process against a learned setpoint
curve, visual representation of deviations
•
Specification of values for breakage limits, display and
documentation of alarms
•
Visualization on the CNC operator panel or on an external
screen
•
Integrated in the machine tool control system
•
Adaptive feedrate control (option)
•
A variety of monitoring strategies, e.g. specifically for long
machining operations or hobbing processes
•
Method of monitoring the coolant flowrate, particularly for
processes involving small tools
•
Flexible interface concept with solutions for PROFIBUS,
PROFINET, Ethernet and a starter variant without fieldbus
connection
•
Flexible configuration – setup and teach-in of all limits so that
they are precisely tailored to the relevant application
■
Integration
CTM can be used for the following CNC:
•
