DESCRIPTION
The CTMCPU system is a powerful monitoring system. By using dedicated strategies and interfaces CTM also provides process control (friction stir welding, brushing, riveting, deburring, assembling, etc.).
A Digital Torque Adapter (DTA) option uses the machine feed force- and torque data (e.g. SIEMENS compile cycle, FANUC FOCAS etc.) from the machine controls. Up to 8 drives can be monitored in parallel.
To meet the requirements and technical specifications, CTMCPU can be adapted to almost any production scenario with different dedicated monitoring strategies and analysis software:
Gear hobbing: focus on safeguarding the expensive milling cutter and on increasing the milling cutter tool life
Fluid: focus on checking the proper coolant flow rate.
Statistics: focus on process analysis in order to find and eliminate reasons of a malfunction
Adaptive Control: focus on continuously adapting the processing speed to the condition of material, tools and machines.
With the process documentation option recording events, data collection and data transfer to different (network) devices can be realized. The function prepares the data for C-THRU4.0.
Integration
CTMCPU offers utmost flexibility to the OEM. The many configuration options allow the integration into any given system architecture:
CTMCPU with the Ethernet connection to IPC of the NC control
CTMCPU with GEMBOX via VNC connection
CTMCPU with external IPC independent of the NC control
BENEFITS
Tool and process monitoring system with numerous configuration possibilities
Monitoring functions in real time with 4 measuring channels
Digital and/or analog sensor signals can be used
Based on the collected data, wear-limits can be defined to optimize the tool life.
Reading of parameters, changing and reloading via a WINDOWS based control / PC
High performance in data processing for the Industrial Internet of Things
Interconnection with other systems and applications in Industry 4.0 (Smart Factory) e.g. via MTConnect connection
FPGA allows customization of the CTM firmware
Very fast reaction by using the integrated I/O-module
CTM is specified by various users
VERSIONS
The evaluation unit for CTMCPU comes in different versions according to the required communication standard and the PLC in use.
CTMCPU PB FOCAS: For the connection to the PLC via Profibus
CTMCPU PB FOCAS oder CTMCPU PN FOCAS S828: For the use with Fanuc controls
CTMCPU PN FOCAS S828: For the connection to the PLC via ProfiNet
CTMCPU PN FOCAS S828: For the use with SIEMENS 828 systems
