■ Overview<br />

PROSIN drill breakage detection<br />

The low-cost PROSIN <strong>software</strong> permits direct access to the<br />

current values of the digital drives of the machine tool. If a tool<br />

breaks, the current of the associated drive changes; this value is<br />

increased in the case of a blunt tool. There<strong>for</strong>e, it is unnecessary<br />

to use additional sensors or complete monitoring electronics.<br />

Renishaw has developed <strong>software</strong> that can be used in conjunction<br />

with the systems <strong>for</strong> non-contact tool control NC1, NC3 and<br />

Features:<br />

NC4.<br />

7 Breakage detection <strong>for</strong> drills of 2 mm (0.08 in) or more The program routines contain the following functions:<br />

7 Operation using SINUMERIK operator panels<br />

7 Static length measurement (e.g. drill, tap)<br />

7 No additional hardware required<br />

7 Length determination with spindle rotating (e.g. end mill,<br />

7 Only one operating side<br />

milling heads)<br />

7 Extremely easy to retrofit<br />

7 High-speed tool-breakage monitoring<br />

7 Up to 120 cuts<br />

7 Automatic tool measuring<br />

A special screen page, which is integrated in the standard user<br />

interface of the <strong>CNC</strong>, is available <strong>for</strong> parameterization of the<br />

operations of a <strong>CNC</strong> program to be monitored. This screen page<br />

7 Monitoring of the cutting edge geometry and profile monitoring<br />

<strong>for</strong> breakage of a single edge<br />

7 Temperature compensation<br />

permits input and optimization of the settings <strong>for</strong> the cuts of one<br />

or more tools to be monitored as well as display of the values that<br />

are actually measured.<br />

Renishaw systems <strong>for</strong> tool monitoring are available as carrier<br />

systems or module systems which cover a wide range of different<br />

applications. All systems use the MicroHole<br />

The limits of the <strong>software</strong>-based monitoring solution presented<br />

here depend on the application: if collisions are to be detected,<br />

or turning tools reliably monitored <strong>for</strong> breakage, the specially<br />

adapted sensor technology of other PROMETEC solutions is still<br />

required.<br />

This tool monitoring is particularly interesting <strong>for</strong> the mass production<br />

of metal parts, e.g., in the automotive supply industry, in<br />

order to increase quality while reducing costs.<br />

TM ; technology<br />

that provides protection to IP68 even during the measuring<br />

procedure. The NC4 system also offers an integrated Passive<br />

SealTM , which maintains full protection even if the compressed<br />

air supply is interrupted. Active drip suppression prevents false<br />

response caused by drops of coolant.<br />
