Marposs Corp Tool and Process Monitoring System CTM

DESCRIPTION The CTM system is a very 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 16 drives can be monitored in parallel. To meet the requirements and technical specifications, CTM 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 CTM offers utmost flexibility to the OEM. The many configuration options allow the integration into any given system architecture: CTM as PCI card, fitted directly into the slot within the NC control BX-2 box as housing for the card, placed in the control cabinet CBU unit with the card integrated into a full PC 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 CTM comes in different versions according to the required communication standard and the PLC in use. CTMV6PB: For the connection to the PLC via Profibus CTMV6PN: For the connection to the PLC via Profinet CTMV6IP: For the connection to the PLC via Ethernet IP CTMV6FOCAS: For the use with Fanuc controls CTMV6S828: For the use with SIEMENS 828 systems CTMV6BASIC: Version suitable for machine tools/applications without fieldbus communication
