What is M2M?

M2M, which stands for Machine-to-Machine, is a field of technology that enables machines to communicate with one another in order to promote increased operating efficiency.

What solution would you recommend for maintaining part tolerances during a manufacturing run?

AutoComp is ideal for maintaining part tolerances. The AutoComp system automatically adjusts tool offsets based on wear, and can even notify an operator when a tool is in need of replacement.

Is there a better alternative to traditional machine stack lights?

Yes, the CEI SmartLight is an ideal upgrade for existing I/O stack lights. SmartLights are fully programmable and provide a superior means of assessing a machine’s operating status.

Is there a way to reduce the amount of machine down time due to broken tools?

Absolutely. As a machine’s cutting tool wears down it will begin to not cut as effectively. As this happens the machine will have to work harder, thus drawing more power. This power variance can easily be monitored by our TMAC system and alert you that a tool may need to be replaced before it breaks.

Is it possible to automatically pass tool offsets between a tool holder and the pre-setter?

Yes, in fact this is exactly what Tool Connect is designed for. Tool Connect employs RFID tags to transfer offset data between the holder and pre-setter interface.
