【To avoid overlooking an anomaly
that should be stopped】
— tool monitoring function that
supports stable auto production —

 Many customers are concerned about tool monitoring when using automated machines in their facilities.
During machining, tool wear is unavoidable, and failures can also occur due to unpredictable factors such as cutting chips.
 In addition to obvious defects, accuracy often gradually deteriorates as the insert's sharpness declines. 
Many people feel uneasy about the risk of overlooking these early warning signs.
 The feature that addresses these concerns is Muratec’s standard “tool monitor” function.
It requires no additional hardware or complicated setup, and it’s easy for anyone to use.
Because this function is hard to understand from text alone, we have also prepared a video introducing its outline.

We have received the following feedback from customers.
◆Because the system is divided into two levels—“warning value” and “alarm value”—you can set the exact threshold at which the machine should stop.
◆It can detect not only overload but also zero load conditions, allowing tool failures to be identified.
◆By quantifying the load, the system provides a clear, consistent standard that does not rely on each operator’s individual judgment.
At our company showroom, you can see this function demonstrated alongside actual changes in machining load.
