SKF's Machine Tool Observer MTx allows machine tool users to log and trend data, monitor machine status via the internet, and receive alarms to flag problems. It offers flexibility by enabling users to connect a range of condition monitoring sensors to one dedicated electronic system that logs all critical parameters. The device offers users a valuable tool that supports preventative maintenance and helps avoid the cost of repairing damaged spindles.
Machine Tool Observer MTx is a stand-alone, online device that monitors, records and observes the performance of machine tool spindles. It supports up to six different types of sensor, including humidity sensors and oil streak sensors. In total, 14 sensors can be connected at the same time, while tri-axial or standard industrial accelerometers are used for acquiring vibration signals.
