Doing More with a Live Tool Lathe

Air Turbine Tools offers its Tool Breakage Alarm System to protect work in process and cutting tools, which helps prevent scrapped parts, lost hours and machine damage.

As cutting tools follows the programed tool path, Air Turbine Tools’ tool breakage detector system monitors air flow for deviation from a sensitive baseline record of compressed air consumption.

If the cutting tool breaks, Carbide Inserts the Tool Breakage Alarm System activates to alert the operator with a light and/or a klaxon. Operators can also program the system to stop the CNC machine automatically if the CNC or robot control Tungsten Steel Inserts is connected to the Tool Breakage Alarm System’s external port — permitting unattended operation 24/7.

Compressor malfunctions are also detected by the system. If a compressor malfunctions, or if air flow is diverted to other machines, Air Turbine Tools’ Tool Breakage Alarm detects airflow cavitation and alerts the operator or stops the program, protecting work in process, tools and machines from drops in air pressure.
