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 gauges MG80 | MG81 – Universalsystems for process monitoring parallel to machining time

  • MG80
  • MG81
  • Properties
  • Accessories
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)
Proven transmission technology
  • Reliable data transmission thanks to BRC radio technology
  • Sequential control of up to 16 wireless measuring systems with one receiver
  • Simultaneous use of 2 radio measuring systems on one machine (TWIN mode)
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
Example of use
  • Operation on production lines, management by master computer
  • Each of the machines can identify the MG system via the pallet and establish communication
