Adaptive Control (AC)
Adaptive Control is a further function of ARTIS process monitoring that can be activated as an option. Depending on the job and manufacturing process, you can choose between two ARTIS processes.
With the ACC process (Adaptive Control Constraint) control is against the limit. The feed motion of the axis is influenced in such a way that a virtually constant power and/or torque signal is received from the spindles. With ACO (Adaptive Control Optimization) the feed motion is controlled in such a way that as far as possible optimal process behaviour is achieved.
Benefit of Adaptive Control (AC)
- Reduces cycle times (processing time for one step, one workpiece, …)
- Prevents damage to machines, tools and workpieces resulting from overload (due to high cutting forces)
- Optimizes the lifetime of the machine by exerting a more or less constant load on individual assemblies, irrespective of differences in the hardness of the workpiece material and tool wear
