New Products: Position-Monitoring System
The Ott/Jakob position-monitoring system watches machine-tool power drawbars for performance and wear.
An electronic analog sensor detects
the position and attached electronics
transmits data to the machine controller.
The system indicates whether
tools are clamped, unclamped, or
not present, and monitors cycles and
hours to increase tool-head accuracy
and longevity. Because the units
transmit information quickly to the
onboard machine controls, it makes
mechanical signal rings with inductive
sensors obsolete.
