Tool Monitoring
Inductive coupling system
■ Contact free sensor technology in the rotating tool ■ For intelligent tool holder Application/customer benefits • For different tool holder types • Permanent power supply of the integrated rotating sensors (no battery / rechargeable battery) • Various measurement options: Forces, vibration, rotation angle, temperature • Reduction in costs (reduction of wear, tool breakage, predictive maintenance)
• Increase of process quality Technical features • Customer specific Standard equipment Inductive coupler base or remote
