Minimized set-up time, maximum tool life – cooperation between MARPOSS and c-Com
When companies bundle their competencies, they often open up significant added value for their customers. One example of this is the collaboration between MARPOSS and c-Com.
The ideal and longest possible tool life is an important cost factor for machining companies. However, often compromises must be made in mass production where automated processes apply. In order to avoid quality issues and costly scraps, tools are replaced as soon as they achieve their “nominal” tool life although in many cases they could work longer.
This is one of the issues tackled by the “ARTIS GENIOR MODULAR” module from MARPOSS. Since years market leader in the area of fully automatic tool and process monitoring, “ARTIS GENIOR MODULAR” can simultaneously monitor and visualize multiple signals and channels detecting any signs of wear on the tool or tool breakage. In this way tool life can be extended and the entire system (machine, workpiece and tool) is protected from any damage.
In order to enhance the already advanced functionalities of the module, MARPOSS recently started working with c-Com GmbH and its open-cloud platform c-Com. “ARTIS GENIOR MODULAR” and c-Com exchange data. As soon as defined warning limits for tool wear are reached, the responsible operators receive through a c-Com SW application, a notification on their mobile device, for example a smartphone or tablet. Reducing reaction time and making processes more efficient.
Thanks to the overview about the upcoming tool changes, in form of either remaining number of workpieces or tool life time, provided by the c-Com application new tools can be prepared in advance in the pre-setting room. In this way set-up times and consequently machine downtimes caused by missing tools are minimized. This also leads to reduced investments on tool holders as the number of needed spare tools is significantly lower.
MARPOSS and c-Com have presented the result of their promising cooperation for the first time at EMO 2019.
