Sensor-based multi-purpose measuring devices for determining various data relevant to machining. The all-rounders attached to the clamping device transmit the recorded process values wirelessly to the machine control system.

Multi-purpose gauge MG80

Mounting on clamping towers

• Up to 8 sensors integrated in the clamping device
• Determination of workpiece temperature, presence of the workpiece, clamping pressure or tool breakage
• Measurement of workpieces with strongly fluctuating input temperature
• Determination of the workpiece temperature before and between machining steps
• No rejects due to temperature fluctuations or poorly clamped workpieces

High-precision process control

• Quality-controlled process chain
• Compensation of temperature changes, e.g. due to dry machining, ambient temperatures
• Compensation values are calculated by the NC control system
• Higher part accuracy through scaled machining (scale function)

Multi-purpose gauge MG81

Integration in the clamping system

• 4 sensors can be connected
• Determination of workpiece temperature, presence of the workpiece, clamping pressure or tool breakage
• Multiple connection options and configuration of customised and specific sensors
• Robust quartz glass and metal components
• Angled M8 connector for small installation volume
• Compact, cubic design in the size range of a cheque card
• Software solutions available for Siemens and Fanuc controllers
