Single Cutting edge detector spike®

for TOOL FAILURE POINT PREDICTION

Your partner on the path to autonomous machining

With its spike® technology, pro-micron offers its customers a path towards autonomous machining.

Smart sensors with most sensitive, unique signals as well as advanced software tools which track, synchronise and
edit process and machine data, enable our customers not only to analyse and to monitor their (serial) production but also to predict quality results in real time using AI algorithms.

Strong partnerships of companies along the value chain make this possible.

PROCESS DATA TRACKING

With our "single cutting edge detector" spike®, it is possible to measure the forces directly at the point of action and visualize them live during the process per individual cutting edge.

This provides permanent feedback on the condition of the cutting tool(-wear) and thus indirectly on the quality of the workpiece achieved (surface, shape & position tolerances, dimensional accuracy, etc.).

Measuring the forces enables the visualization of details others can‘t see. Our highest sensitivity sensors are especially relevant for high-quality production.

Software

Automated data preparation

To efficiently manage the large amount of raw data available, tools for automatically storing, sorting, labelling, synchronizing, validating, etc. are needed.

Within our web-based and open interface software fusion, the data is prepared and refined so that it can be efficiently interpreted and correlated without much manual effort.

After that, your process data is ready to be used for AI training and, for example, the creation of a digital twin.

Data-Science

Transformation of data into knowledge

The prepared data can now be transformed into knowledge by various data science approaches.

Methods such as process specific indicators (spike®_kpi for symmetry or chatter), digital twinning, or tool health indexes enable the user to detect and even predict the critical TOOL FAILURE POINT.

As a result these parts are now protected from becoming scrap parts, leading to reduced downstream costs and increased production efficiency.
