- Unstable cutting
- Underused cutting power
- Unwanted vibration in cutting
The principle of system consists of four phases as described below and in the picture.
1) First the system measures cutting conditions. The measured parameters are: horizontal and
vertical acceleration of cutting tool, acoustic emission, audio (voice), power and machine
vision (tool wear).
2) When the paramteres are measured, the system identifies cutting conditions, the strength of
the possible problems identified (fault-cutting conditions) and problem priorities.
3) The third section is optimizing, where the system solves the fault-cutting conditions by
determining the parameters that needs to be adjusted.
4) In the last control section the system will adapt the cutting speed or/and feed towards to the
optimal situation.
Analysis and control is continuous, real-time and adaptive process.
Innovations and advantages of the offer
The adaptive roughing system optimizes the quality, efficiency and safety of rough turning by
controlling the cutting speed and/or feed rate automatically unlike in traditional rough turning
process, where professionally skilled operator is always needed. Frankly, the adaptive system
is specifically designed for unmanned production (FMS). Currently there is not that kind of
adaptive system on the market.

Flexible Blast System for Assembly Lines.
(Ref: 11 DE 1380 3KTA )
A large German research institute has developed a "traveling compressed-air trolley" for
assembly lines, which is applicable especially in the domains of car industry, investment
construction, mechanical engineering as well as in automation and IT. With this technology it
is possible to connect any number of extraction cars for various tools at the same time and
without any loss in power and ergonomic operation. The institute is seeking either a license
agreement or a technical cooperation.
Description:
Many steps in assembly processes are performed by tools run on compressed air. For this
purpose, systems feeding compressed air to these tools must ensure continuous supply over
large working spaces. One important prerequisite is the need not to impede by long hoses the
functioning of tools at the assembly line, and avoid interruptions when changing to the next
supply section.
Systems with one stationary channel acting as a compressed-air store along the assembly line
are able to meet these preconditions: flexible compressed air – "traveling compressed-air
trolley" for assembly lines. Extraction cars moving like trolleys alongside the compressed-air
channel allow the hose to be kept short up to the terminal unit. However, neither low-cost
compressed-air channels nor sufficiently powerful sealing and valve systems are commercially
available for such installations.
A German research centre has developed a compressed-air supply system which overcomes
existing problems and can be implemented at low cost:
The extraction car incorporates two drums from which the consumer hose is supplied
compressed air. The drums are enclosed by a continuous chain crawling along the channel as
the car is being moved. The compressed-air channel and the drums are equipped with bores
closed with elastomer sealing strips. The chain links are made up of valve units connecting the
channel and the drums through the bores and, in this way, passing the compressed air.
