e-SPINDLE Monitors Cutting Processes in Real Time



Absolute Machine Tools partner PCI SCEMM (a Tongtai company) has introduced the e-SPINDLE, an electro-spindle that integrates sensors and actuators to monitor cutting processes and adjust parameters to optimize tool life and workpiece quality.

PCI recently presented three e-SPINDLE applications that showcased smart machining technology. One toolholder demonstration highlighted real-time monitoring of cutting process variables including force, vibration and coolant pressure. An adaptive drilling application illustrated the benefits of ongoing vibration control, and a honing toolholder operation featured integrated measurement of workpiece diameter to permit continual control of abrasive honing tooling.

Absolute Machine Tools President Steve Ortner said, "e-SPINDLE technology from PCI is another way Absolute Machine Tools enables its customers to participate fully in smart manufacturing, the IIoT and Industry 4.0."
