Says Mathias Tjomsland, Product Manager Digital Tools at Sandvik Coromant: “Typically, maintenance of a driven tool holder is carried out once or twice a year, depending on the level of usage, but this does not take into consideration the actual maintenance need of an individual holder. Also provided is data on the location of a driven tool holder, including the specific factory, machine name, turret and station number. Other data delivered through the sensors include rpm and direction of rotation, minimising the chances of exceeding the driven tool holder’s limits, and current and historical information about a particular tool. The software application included in the new offer provides operators with real-time information such as the vibration level of the holder, making live monitoring of the spindle possible, while also monitoring the temperature within the tool holder. Also, because the driven tool holders are equipped with Coromant Capto® coupling, the solution enables operators to make use of an extensive range of high-performance cutting tools. Thanks to quick-change functionality, the time an operator needs to spend on measuring, setup and tool change is kept to a minimum. Outside a planned maintenance schedule, an operator could be running a tool holder in an environment that risks costly damage to equipment, resulting in machining failures and unplanned stops in production.ĭeveloped to complement the Coromant Capto® quick-change tooling concept from Sandvik Coromant, the new driven tool holder solution uses sensors to gather data and transmits them via Bluetooth, making predictive maintenance of the holder possible. This enables manufacturers to achieve maximum machine tool productivity and output through predictive maintenance as well as offering fast tool changes in applications using driven tools.Īs a leading developer and provider of metal cutting solutions, Sandvik Coromant is introducing the new product to solve a common problem for many manufacturers – knowing the optimum time to service their equipment while avoiding the likelihood of tool holder breakage. Part of the CoroPlus® digital machining offer, the Coromant Capto® DTH Plus solution minimises costly downtime due to breakages by alerting an operator to the need to service an individual driven tool holder. The introduction of a new dedicated tooling solution from Sandvik Coromant is set to boost the utilisation of turning machines and turret-based multi-task machine tools fitted with driven tool holders.
