ASSISTEC AND MONTRONIX: A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP



The ideal partner for industrial automation solutions

Since 1990, Montronix has been a leading supplier of process analysis and tool control solutions, machine protection devices and analysis of machine conditions. The monitoring systems developed by Montronix Manufacturing Solutions are used in industries all over the world and are helping to reduce production costs in many companies. They are able to identify equipment problems, and diagnose and solve the causes of malfunctions.

Assistec has been working for some time with Montronix. In particular, we use this company's products to meet the system integration needs within the machine tool park, such as the installation of tool monitoring systems or collision protections for the machinery.

Services offered thanks to Montronix

With the collaboration of Montronix, we are able to provide customers with efficient and precise CNC machine tool monitoring, with applications for machining centres, lathes, grinders, drills, cutters, robots, handling and self-diagnosis machines. We can provide the following services:

  • SBR - Tool and process monitoring:

With the installation of intelligent sensors on the machine and software, we are able to monitor the state of tool wear and the production process. The benefits are numerous and include elimination of scrap problems, optimisation of machine cycle times, reduction of costs due to premature tool replacement, and prevention of tool breakage caused by abnormal wear or chipping during tool life.

  • PULSE NG - Collision monitoring:

The 4.0 Ready PULSE NG system is the ideal solution to protect the CNC machine. The application uses specially designed sensors to detect rapid collisions, vibration overload, force and power, condition of bearings, linear guides, spindle, etc. The advantages are numerous, and include: machine protection in the event of collisions, vibration monitoring during machining, tool change monitoring, predictive maintenance on tool changes;

  • WIFI BOX NG - Machine status monitoring:

Portable Wi-Fi diagnostic system that detects problems on machine parts, such as wear, trend statistics, damage, geometry and clamping errors. The advantages are numerous and include: increased machine uptime, verification of maintenance performed, improved tool life, optimised cutting parameters.

Discover the industry of the future with Assistec

With Assistec, automation and innovation are Made in Italy. For 20 years we have been providing electronic and mechanical technical support for machine tools, made possible by our extensive knowledge on the CNC machine and how it interfaces with the external world, with the integration of hardware and software systems. In particular, Assistec is able to integrate third-party hardware systems, such as those seen with Montronix.

    The history of CNC machines

    Numerically controlled (CNC) machines represent one of the most important technological innovations of the modern industrial era.

    Their ability to automate and standardise complex operations has changed the face of manufacturing, transforming craft processes into large-scale industrial precision systems.

    The spread of CNC machines has made it possible to reduce human error, increase productivity and, above all, guarantee repeatability of machining operations that would otherwise have been impossible. This has proved particularly crucial in sectors where precision, efficiency and speed are vital, such as aerospace, automotive, precision engineering and medical device manufacturing.

    One of the main reasons for the success of CNC machines is their ability to perform tasks with extreme precision that previously required the manual intervention of skilled workers.

    With CNCs, on the other hand, once the machining has been programmed, the machine can perform an infinite sequence of operations without loss of precision, solving problems of variability and improving the quality of the finished product.

    At this point, the question might arise: when did CNC machines originate and how did they reach this level of sophistication?

    The differences between traditional machine tools and CNC machines

    Conventional machine tools and computer numerical control (CNC) machines are both used for machining, but have significant differences in several key practical aspects.

    So, if you are wondering whether CNC machines are better than traditional ones or whether it is time to replace your machines with automated solutions, below you will find all the elements you need for an in-depth evaluation of the question.

    We have examined 7 evaluation criteria, making an objective judgement for each of them based on the practical applications of the machine type.

    What is a CNC lathe and how does it work?

    What is the CNC lathe and how does it work?

    The computer numerical control (CNC) lathe is one of the most advanced and precise tools in the field of machining. Its ability to perform complex machining operations with high precision and repeatability has, after all, revolutionised the manufacturing industry, significantly optimising production processes in many sectors. In the following lines, we will explore in detail how the CNC lathe works, analysing its main components, the programming process and practical applications.

    We will also look at the interactions between hardware and software, the types of tools used and how machining parameters are controlled, to summarise the potential of a technology that has become strategically relevant today.
