Komet Cloud supports machine tool and tooling data collection and analysis

German cutting tool expert Komet is offering a cloud service that allows companies to collect and analyse machine tool operation and cutting tool use data.

Komet Cloud can collect such data as machine operation time, machine idle time, length of tool life, tool replacement reason and process forces during part machining.

This data can be accessed and analysed, with user dashboards displaying information easily created, says the company.

Komet uses the system for machines in its production plant in Besigheim, Germany.

The company is offering access to a test account.
