Fuji Condition Monitoring Systems

Features:

• Reads waveforms and stops the equipment if any abnormal-ity is detected, such as any "broken tool," "chipping" and "chip getting caught." This can be used to prevent defective products from leaving the factory and other minor problems can be addressed before they grow into major troubles.
• Machining waveform data from MARSYS can be gathered and analyzed to realize the optimum cutting state management
• Waveform sampling of the limits of the re-spective tools provides rough indications to allow the tools to be used to their limits.
• Waveform sampling data are recorded for each time of machin-ing, allowing checks to be performed on the machining state at the time of a machining failure. Any product defect can be confined to the affected workpiece and de-fective products can be eliminated before they pass through the process. Sensing for processes other than machin-ing is supported. Also useful as an equipment diagnostic tool.
• Optimum machining conditions can be identified by converting the respective machining condi-tions (cutting programs) of the machining center into waveforms. As a result, the machining time and the rota-tion rate for machining can be adjusted to reduce the cycle time. Chipping of tool tips can be measured, elimi-nating the need for a "broken tool detection sensor." No downtime and possibly shorter cycle time.

The system analyzes the waveform data gathered by MARSYS with a data analysis tool (ProHealth), thereby supporting "visualization" in various ways.
 The spindle motor load power of the cutting equipment can be measured to use for "tool diagnosis." Helps to identify abnormal trends and deter-mine the threshold for alarm output, leading to stable operation, reduced tooling costs and a shorter cycle time of the cutting equipment.
