Functional Principle Tool Monitoring

Depending on the preset parameters in the control unit when a start signal is given from the machine control the wand rotates left or right until it reaches the tool. In this process it first approaches the monitoring range with maximum speed, then decelerates and scans the tool with the set intensity. Once the wand contacts the tool or goes past the point where the tool should be (broken tool) the wand returns to home  position at maximum speed and outputs either and OK or KO signal.

By means of a preset angle the wand can be assigned a freely definable home position between two tools to be monitored. After the wand has reached this position the two toos can be scanned. The order of the scanning direction is also selectable.
