Touch Detection – Balance Systems https://www.balancesystems.com Future innovation Thu, 29 Nov 2018 16:07:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.21 VM25 https://www.balancesystems.com/product/vm25-modular-multi-function-system/ Mon, 26 Nov 2018 16:00:55 +0000 http://balancesystems.com/product/vm25-modular-multi-function-system/ Modular multi-function system for grinding machine processes The VM25 is a modular fully programmable system designed for high performances applications in grinding machines. It is able to provide solutions for: - One and two plane automatic balancing of the grinding spindle - Touch detection to control the grinding wheel-work piece and grinding wheel-dresser contacts, by using acoustic emission and/or power sensors - In-process and post-process gauging (absolute or comparative)
Features
  • Modular setup fited to the machine architecture on which it is installed
  • It is available in several configurations: table or remote control unit
  • User’s graphic interface based on ISO symbols
  • Total integration with the machine controller (commands and remote programming)
  • TCP/IP connectivity for service operations and remote diagnostic
  • It is delivered with the “VM25 Service” software application for backup, restore and software upgrade
  • Each installed function is fully independent. In case that a function is temporarily not available, it can be disabled and the remaining system can continue to operate
  • A functional upgrade can be made at any time
Benefits
[marked_list2]
  • Ergonomic and easy to setup
  • Decisive in optimizing the production process and the quality of the machine
  • Extends lifetime of the machine components (spindle, grinding wheel and dressing tool), reducing the environmental impact
  • Does not require surveillance
  • Can be installed on any type of grinding machine, both new and retrofitting

It is able to provide solutions for: - One-plane balancing of the grinding spindle - Touch detection to control the grinding wheel-work piece and grinding wheel-dresser contact moment, by using acoustic emission and/or power sensors - In-process gauging (comparative)
Features
  • Configuration with control unit in the electrical cabinet and remoted graphic control panel
  • User’s graphic interface based on ISO symbols
  • Each installed function is fully independent. In case that a function is temporarily not available, it can be disabled and the remaining system can continue to operate
  • TCP/IP connectivity for service operations and remote diagnostic
  • It is provided with the software application “VM15 Service” for backup, restore and software upgrade operations
  • A functional upgrade can be made at any time

[/marked_list2]]]> VM9-TD https://www.balancesystems.com/product/vm9-td-touch-detection-amplifier/ Fri, 25 Sep 2015 08:19:34 +0000 Touch detection amplifier for grinding machine & machine tool VM9-TD is a touch detection system for machine tools based on the use of acoustic emission sensors (AE). It is designed for simple and cost-effective applications and allows to: - Detect the end of the “air grinding” time (GAP function) - Preventive monitoring (Anti-CRASH function) - Control the dressing process
Features
[marked_list2]
  • Management of 2 independent channels for AE sensors, including diagnostics
  • Integration with the machine controller in safety mode
  • Wide range of AE sensors (static assembly and built-in spindle)
  • AE level displayed on led bar graph
  • Two control limits (i.e. end of the cutting in the air, anti-crash) with the signal processing both in instantaneous and in differential mode
    • [/marked_list2]
Advantages
[marked_list2]
  • Reduces cycle times
  • Improves  safety and reduces maintenance costs
  • Extends lifetime of the tools (i.e. grinding wheel, dressing unit)
  • Does not require surveillance
  • Can be installed on any type of grinding machine, both new and retrofitting
