Dear IndustryArena member (Member),

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner! Have you already chilled a green beer for the occasion, or are your projects keeping you too busy to celebrate?

IndustryArena

Four-leaf clovers and luck may be themes on St. Patrick’s Day, but in CNC machining, precision is what really counts. With the right CNC programming, micron-level accuracy is achievable. Precision is also a key factor for our members HEIDENHAIN and HORN. Discover HEIDENHAIN’s TD 110 tool breakage detector for increased efficiency, lower costs, and improved process reliability. Get to know Paul Horn and explore the portfolio of this high-quality precision tool manufacturer. Learn more about the high-tech manufacturing processes that will be showcased at EMO 2025 in September. In addition, don’t miss an exciting free webinar and the latest news from our forum and much more!

Enjoy reading!

Retrofitting the TD 110 tool breakage detector from HEIDENHAIN: Save time, reduce cost and improve process reliability
Retrofitting the TD 110

Perform in-process breakage inspection for tools with diameters of at least 0.4 mm and save up to six seconds for each tool change compared with split-laser systems. The contact-free, inductive TD 110 tool breakage detector senses a length change of 2 mm of fast-moving, rotating tools. It can be retrofitted inside the work envelope of nearly any machine tool. If the switching signal doesn’t arrive over the touch-probe interface, then the control can trigger an alert, stop the program or perform a user-defined reaction. Save time and money while increasing your process reliability.
