Actuating with TOOLTRONIC®<br />
Transmission<br />
system<br />
TOOLTRONIC® – The driving<br />
force in precision machining<br />
MAPAL TOOLTRONIC® has been developed<br />
as a self-contained drive system. By<br />
inductive and bi-directional data transmission,<br />
TOOLTRONIC® provides a full,<br />
additional NC-axis which is incorporated<br />
into the machine control system. This<br />
means that the functions <strong>of</strong> modern CNC<br />
control systems, such as interpolation <strong>of</strong><br />
different axes and adj<strong>us</strong>tment for wear<br />
and blade radi<strong>us</strong>, can also be fully utilised<br />
when TOOLTRONIC® is incorporated.<br />
The new, fully-developed electronic system<br />
sets new standards in the inductively<br />
transferred power <strong>of</strong> mechatronic tools.<br />
Bi-directional data transmission also<br />
allows any sensor data to be transferred<br />
from TOOLTRONIC® to the machine control,<br />
opening up new opportunities in<br />
machining and control concepts.<br />
- Generating the slide is achieved by<br />
means <strong>of</strong> a servomotor in the tool.<br />
TOOLTRONIC® actuating tools can<br />
be <strong>us</strong>ed on machining centers or<br />
special machines. Machining complex<br />
contours is also possible on a<br />
machining center.<br />
- Advantage:<br />
TOOLTRONIC® provides an additional<br />
axis for a machine.<br />
The type <strong>of</strong> block tool to be <strong>us</strong>ed with<br />
TOOLTRONIC® depends on the actual<br />
machining task. In principle all selfgenerating<br />
tools from MAPAL ISOTOOL,<br />
which are activated by coolant pressure,<br />
centrifugal force, contact stop or draw<br />
bar, can be driven and controlled by<br />
TOOLTRONIC® as an alternative.<br />
However, possible applications are not<br />
j<strong>us</strong>t limited to cutting with a geometrically<br />
aligned blade. Combined with<br />
TOOLTRONIC®, a honing tool with selfgenerating<br />
honing pads to provide compensation<br />
for wear and dimensional<br />
adj<strong>us</strong>tment becomes a block tool.
