spike® Monitoring Set
Intelligent real-time monitoring for stable processes. The spike® Monitoring System.
The spike® Monitoring System is an intelligent, sensitive monitoring solution for automatic real-time monitoring of manufacturing processes. It detects deviations, tool breakage, and quality risks early – before rejects occur.
Our fusion software sets triggers as recommendations to initiate automatic machine reactions. Various limit values and algorithms are available for this purpose, depending on the available sensor signal.
By extending with spike®2 or spike® Inspindle, high-frequency force and torque signals become additionally available. This allows even the smallest process changes to be reliably detected, such as a broken tool cutting edge.
With the spike® Monitoring System, pro-micron offers its own retrofittable monitoring solution, elevating the level of established spindle current monitoring systems. The system can be used in series production as well as in laboratory operations for automation purposes.
The Added Value of the spike® Monitoring Set
- Machine Protection
Protection of the machine by detecting axial force overloads and radial spindle bearing loads (via Bm). - Anomaly and Error Detection
Automatic detection of sporadic and systematic signal changes, vibrations, and force peaks, as well as precise detection of cutting edge breakages (especially with spike®), wear, chatter, and drill run-out. - Condition-based Automation
Cross-system cycles for detecting and reducing idle movements, inefficient process steps, and unstable cutting conditions – for a higher degree of automation and shorter cycle times. - Scrap & Cost Reduction
Fewer rejected parts and lower tool costs through early detection of critical deviations, more stable processes, and extended tool life.

¹⁾ fusion Edge must be combined with the “Machine Interface” and “Monitoring” licenses.
²⁾ The “Data Streaming” license can be added as an extension. However, it is not strictly necessary for the operation of the “spike® Monitoring System.”
³⁾ To collect and analyze measurement data in a structured database, fusion Server can be added along with the “Analysis” license.
