Winterthur, August 2023 - At EMO Hannover, the leading trade fair for production technology (18–23 September 2023), Kistler (Hall 4, Stand C05) will present its highly advanced solutions for cutting force measurement in development and production: While the world’s first rotating cutting force dynamometer (RCD) with a piezoelectric sensor simplifies R&D activities, the Piezo Tool System in combination with the maXYmos process monitoring system ensures optimized, transparent machining processes.
The reliable monitoring of machining processes provides valuable real-time data on the current process, thus establishing the basis for predictable, productive and reproducible manufacturing processes. During micromachining or finishing processes in particular, tool monitoring was practically impossible up to now due to the small forces. The Piezo Tool System (PTS) from Kistler, which was developed in cooperation with Paul Horn GmbH, measures cutting force during turning with highly sensitive sensors located close to the shaft, thus establishing a reliable basis for optimization of these challenging processes.
