Process Monitoring System  BRINKHAUS  ToolScope™
Growing automation in the machining industry increases
the demand for more process and machine tool monitoring,
which can help minimize machine down time and reduce
scrap rates, thereby improving the delivery times to your
customers.
Based on the latest technology of process and machine tool monitoring, the  ToolScope™  System from
KOMET BRINKHAUS  relies on a unique, patented method
for statistical process monitoring which not only detects
breakage but also recognizes considerably smaller process
deviations. In addition to the usual procedures of process
control, the  ToolScope™  System provides a procedure for
monitoring quality while a process is running.
BRINKHAUS  ToolScope™  adds considerable value to your
production
BRINKHAUS  ToolScope™  has an advantage over other systems not
only because it features the latest technology, but also because of
its modularity and user-friendliness. It provides for simple and safe
application of the system in many different areas, even with small
batch runs. Indeed, the built-in dynamic monitoring capabilities
alleviate the need for a “learning period” before the system can
start monitoring a process.

BENEFITS for you:
tGlobal presence with 20 subsidiaries, 50 international branches on
all five continents, 40 Service and Sales centers and approximately
1,700 employees worldwide guarantee service to the customer
tOnline visualization of the process (oscilloscope function) to
support the set-up procedure, e.g. in order to promptly detect
the jamming of chips
tSix Sigma Module: statistical process verification and process
quality monitoring
tDynamic Monitoring Module: Process monoitoring for small
batch runs which alleviates the need for a “learning
tAdaptive Control (AC) Module: Optimization of the essential
operating time through process acceleration for tools that are
underused, and speed reduction for tools that are overused
tMeasuring without (additional) sensors: The sensor data is read
directly from the CNC via Profibus or TCP/IP
tAutomatic documentation of the process data as a PDF, PNG or
Excel file
tMonitoring for tool wear and missing tool
tMonitoring of any and all possible sensor signals
tEvaluating analogue sensor signals with up to 10 kHz
tMonitoring of the vibration behavior of bearings, axles, spindles
and tools
tOperation via the machine control system HMI or using a touch
screen
