Process Monitoring: Integrated Thread Forming
Presentation Abstract: The presentation covers the topic of "intelligent tools" through process-monitored, integrated thread forming. FIBRO GmbH offers the electronic thread forming unit with integrated process monitoring for zero-defect production.
During the thread forming process, the torque of the thread forming tool is monitored by the thread forming unit's control system. This provides proactive notification to the press or punching machine. This prevents consequential damage to the punching tool, and the customer experiences increased efficiency through early wear detection in their punching and forming tool.
