TOPlus IQ condition monitoring

Clamping devices with integrated,
intelligent measuring technology

Chucks and mandrels with IQ manage the monitoring of pr oduction and enable improved work flow. With IQ chucks and mandrels the transformation to Industry 4.0, digitalization, and IoT is quite simple.

Integrated sensor technology enables many dif ferent measurements and monitoring possibilities. The measured data is relayed via contactless transmission of data and energy dir ectly to the machine controller where it is analyzed. The contr oller executes a setpoint comparison. If ther e are deviations, a message is output or a corr ection is initiated.

Long-term control is possible with the data obtained thr ough »condition monitoring«. Thus, traceability as stipulated in DIN EN 1550 is ensured.

Application example

Measuring on the machine

IQ chuck for measuring workpiece diameter, temperature, RPM, workpiece contact, and workpiece clamping force. Data is processed in the controller or in the master computer and is displayed on the machine panel.

 

Measuring when handling the workpiece

Use the IQ chuck for measuring the finished workpiece diameter. This data is processed in the controller or in the master computer and is also shown on an LED ring on the chuck.

 

Measuring station

IQ mandrel for measuring the finished workpiece bore. Data processing occurs in the controller or in the master computer and in addition can be output via a display at the measuring station.
