About Tool Monitors

Tool monitors optimize machine tool operating conditions based on feedback from sensors or probes. They include monitoring sensors and instrumentation for the predictive maintenance of industrial equipment and processes. There are many different types of tool monitors. Some products are used to determine whether a machine tool is dull, broken, or properly mounted in a machine. Others sense whether the workpiece is positioned properly. Many tool setting monitors are used to detect clamping errors, thermal shifts and broken tooling during rapid traverse. Crash avoidance systems detect imminent collisions and turn off motion control circuitry before damage can occur. Tool monitors are also used to check conditions or parameters such as temperature, corrosion, oil condition, wear, vibration (flaw detection and growth), speed and pressure.
