Real-time feedrate optimization
■ Overview
ADAPTIVE CONTROL & MONITORING (ACM) for real-time
feedrate optimization
The OMATIVE ACM system is fully integrated into SINUMERIK
NCK version 6.5 or higher and into the SINUMERIK HMI environment’s
user interface purely as a software solution.
ACM can be used for every cutting operation in feedrate-control,
monitoring and event-recording modes.
In feedrate-control mode, ACM measures the current spindle
load and continuously calculates the optimum feedrate for each
individual tool and material. The feedrate is set to the highest
possible value automatically and in real time. This reduces cycle
times and also prevents tool breakage and damage to the tool
and spindle, particularly during critical roughing operations and
in rough-finishing applications. If the tool becomes overloaded,
ACM stabilizes to an acceptable value automatically. This value
is defined via an algorithm in the internal expert system and, if
necessary, the feed is suspended. In this way, tool breakage can
also be detected.
In monitoring mode, the spindle load is monitored without adaptation
of the feedrate. If the spindle becomes underloaded or
overloaded, an alarm is triggered and, if necessary, the machine
is stopped. Missing tools or tool breakages are also detected.
In event-recording mode, the machine’s event data are saved
or transferred via the PC network using the OMATIVE Pro software
and can be analyzed as machine and production reports.
Event recording is performed automatically in feedrate-control
and monitoring modes.

Process Monitor System PROMOS
■ Overview
Modular tool and process monitoring system
The modular PROMOS process monitoring system provides fast
collision detection and reliable tool monitoring for all machining
processes:
• Detection of tool breakage
• Detection of tool wear
• Detection of idle passes
• Detection of tool contact
Furthermore, additional functions are available for the visualization
and, therefore, diagnosis and optimization of the machining
operations. For the user, this means:
7 Avoidance of tool breakage to a large extent by automatically
replacing the tool in time
7 Tool or workpiece damage is minimized, consequential
damage prevented
7 Increase in productivity without increased use of personnel
7 Increase in quality resulting from process optimization
In addition to machine and tool protection, PROMOS also
permits a reduction of unit times and an increase in part quality,
inter alia.
Operator inputs are made centrally using the operator panel of
the control. The RS 485 or RS 232 C interface is used for communication
with the PROMOS monitor modules.
The PROMOS modules can be supplied with different performance
data (e.g., available monitoring functions, number of
monitorable tools) to permit optimum matching to the machining
task with regard to price and function. PROMOS can be operated
with all PROMETEC sensors (force, expansion, distance,
active power, torque, vibration, structure-borne noise, sound
emission, fluid noise).
