Monitoring SySteM ProtectS toolS, ProceSSeS Marposs Corp., Booth 623 Marposs Corp. will introduce its Artis CTM V6 tool- and process-monitoring system. Aligned in-process monitoring enables the system to safeguard and optimize complex production processes, the company says. In the basic instal- lation, the system is interfaced with the machine control and accepts inputs from various measur- ing transducers. A sensorless digital torque adapter (DTA) captures drive data for evaluation of the spindle torque and feed axis. Additional or alter- native sensors are available for measuring strain and force, true power, torque, vibration and acceleration, acoustic emission, and standard power or voltage signals. O pti o n a l l y, th e CT M sy s te m c a n p rov i d e adaptive control for adjusting the feed speed to compensate for material deviations. This function protects both the machine and tool under high load by reducing the feed force, Marposs says. 0614_MMS_AmerimoldDisplay.indd 174 5/14/2014 8:57:28 AM
