Condition Monitoring for machine tools

When do you increase your machine availability?

Benefit from active condition monitoring and reduce unplanned idle states. Our Predictive Service Centre uses the status analysis function of your machine and notifies you immediately of any abnormalities. This lets us help you to increase machine availability. Thanks to the machine diagnostics function, you can utilise predictive maintenance and minimise the risk of unplanned idle states.

Increase your machine availability

and reduce unplanned idle states with early problem detection.

Avoid follow-on costs

by obtaining and implementing recommended actions at the right time.

Benefit from proactive support

which allows malfunctions to be rectified quickly.

Reduced service costs

Using machine diagnostics, our experts can identify faulty or worn parts at an early stage.

What does Condition Monitoring entail?

Effective monitoring is crucial for ensuring quality and identifying errors at an early stage, allowing you to prevent subsequent damage and avoid additional costs. Our comprehensive monitoring functions cover a wide range of machine components to ensure that your operation runs smoothly.

Condition monitoring now offers even greater benefits – safeguard your budget with the new machine diagnostics feature. It detects issues before they occur. Imagine knowing months in advance when a part will wear out or when dirt will accumulate, allowing you to respond proactively.

Examples of Condition Monitoring

On TruLaser machines

On the TruLaser machine, features including the lateral air blast nozzle, the cutting unit and gas pressures are actively monitored. Effective monitoring of the lateral air blast nozzle prevents quality problems in thick sheet by detecting slag deposits at an early stage. Early error detection on the cutting unit ensures that technicians can be deployed effectively. The degree of contamination and any adverse effects are monitored. Monitoring different gas pressures prevents contamination of optical components, which can prevent high follow-on costs and potential total failure of the cutting unit.
The machine diagnostics function notifies you immediately if your machine data exceeds certain limit values.

On TruMatic machines

On the TruMatic machine, features including the vacuum pump, axes and drives are monitored. An unexpected failure of the CO2 vacuum pump on the resonator can cause the laser beam to stop working. Monitoring this pump prevents potential idle states. Faults in axles and drives such as excess temperature, jamming or excess torque are detected at an early stage to prevent consequential damage.

On TruBend machines

On the TruBend machine, features including the degree of contamination of the sheets, filters and central lubrication are monitored. The Technical Guide reminds customers to replace filters at the correct time and so can reduce and prevent restrictions. Problems with the central lubrication can be caused by factors including air pressure, empty lubricant and contamination. These can all be detected at an early stage by Condition Monitoring.
