Tool monitoring
The condition of the tools is monitored during the machining process.
The central monitoring tasks during the machining process are:
- Tool wear monitoring
- Tool breakage monitoring
- Tool presence check
Benefits of tool monitoring
- Reduces scrap due to damaged, worn or missing tools
- Reduces tool costs by preventing damage to tools
- Cuts maintenance costs by avoiding damage to machine components
- Increases use times of machines as they are more rarely switched off because of damage to workpieces, tools or machine components
- Ensures the required quality standard of workpieces
