The TRS1 High-Speed Broken Tool Detection System Delivers!
Increases Performance, Efficiency and Reliability

Machining operations are regularly faced with the costs of scrap and rework as a result of broken tools during production. With the increased level of unmonitored machine operation today, several bad parts can be produced, or a machine crash can occur, before the problem is discovered.

Traditional solutions as part of a tool measurement system were sometime inefficient and unreliable. Designed specifically for high-speed tool breakage detection, the TRS1 delivers unique levels of performance and reliability and mounts unobtrusively outside of the machining work envelope.

The Next Generation of High-Speed Machining
Learning Control Automatically Delivers Speed and Accuracy

There are many instances in machining where the cutting feedrate is reduced to compensate for a machine tool’s inability to follow a contour at a higher speed. Advanced CNC technology is available that combines advanced look-ahead technologies and high-resolution, high-performance servo technologies to improve path accuracy.

By modeling the machine’s theoretical, dynamic capabilities, its response to moves specified in the part program can be predicted, allowing feedrates to be increased. Learning control is the next generation of this technology, with the CNC learning the actual dynamic capabilities of the machine tool as it cuts a specific part.
