Machine tool monitoring
17 April 2015
The SKF Machine Tool Observer MTx enables users to connect a range of condition monitoring sensors to one dedicated electronic system that logs all critical parameters. The device supports preventive maintenance and helps to avoid the cost of repairing damaged spindles.
The SKF Machine Tool Observer MTx is a stand-alone on-line monitoring device that actively monitors, records and observes data on the performance of machine tool spindles, grinding machines and other systems. The device supports up to six different types of sensors, enabling users to monitor a range of conditions by allowing up to 14 components, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors and oil streak sensors, to be connected at the same time, while triaxial or standard industrial accelerometers are used for acquiring vibration signals.
