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.
