Machine and tool detection systems are now an important part of machine health and production monitoring systems. They help manufacturers optimize production volumes and eliminate unwanted downtimes by recording data in real-time and analyzing it. This is done using certain probes that are integrated with the software. These tools detect not only broken tools but also check defective parts, perform an inspection of objects as well position recognition. BK Mikro scanner is a type of tool and process monitoring system that helps in detecting tool breakage through the process of scanning. It is also used for other industrial applications, including position recognition, checking part defects, object inspection, and so on. Techna Tool offers different variants of BK Mikro scanners for multiple industrial applications. Are you intrigued to know more about these scanners? If yes, read the post below. This post offers you a brief overview of BK Mikro scanners and their variants.
An Overview of BK Mikro Scanners
BK Mikro scanners are flexible devices for tool and process monitoring. It is also used for object and free space monitoring applications. These scanning tools are chips and coolant resistant and easy to maintain. These scanner systems comprise an encoder and a servo motor that allows you to check the tool position through a probe. The tool position is memorized by the scanner and is later used to verify whether the tool is in the same condition. If the probe notices any difference in the tool position, the scanner generates a signal which tells the operator that the tool is broken. The operators can immediately analyze and fix the breakage, thus eliminating further loss and production downtime. Continue reading
