Overview
MCI – Machine Condition Indicator with MCIview software
Using a sensor mounted on the spindle housing, MCI acquires
the vibration signals from a machine tool fully automatically and
continuously in all the different machine states of the production
process.
The objective is to generate, store and monitor trends – character-
istics measured for each cycle, cut or tool are stored (maximum
values, performance values, average values, standard devia-
tions). If these characteristic values exceed a defined threshold,
a warning or alarm is displayed. This system allows early detec-
tion of typical symptoms of wear on the machine and critical
changes in the cutting process.
MCIview provides the machine operator with a simple overview
of the functions and allows quick access to the machine data
without connecting a laptop computer or any other equipment.
