e-Spindle Monitors Cutting Processes in Real Time
The e-Sprindle is an electro-spindle that integrates sensors and actuators to monitor cutting processes and adjust parameters to optimize tool life and workpiece quality.
Absolute Machine Tools’ partner PCI SCEMM (a Tongtai company) introduced the e-Sprindle, an electro-spindle that integrates sensors and actuators to monitor cutting processes and adjust parameters to optimize tool life and workpiece quality.
PCI developed e-Spindle technology in France in collaboration with the Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry (Cetim) and the Aix-en-Provence campus of the French Arts et Métiers engineering and research graduate school.
The e-Spindle technology is another way Absolute Machine Tools enables its customers to participate fully in smart manufacturing, the IIoT, and Industry 4.0.
