Machine Tool Fingerprint provides a way to control the status of machine tools with the following features:
· Embedded Intelligence: Post-processing of the recorded raw data allows obtaining KPIs directly related to Machine Tool component condition like backlash or friction.
· Simplicity: the operator only needs to launch the part program. Data monitoring, post-processing and upload to external servers is automated.
· Traceability: as a fast and automated procedure, its impact in the productivity is very limited, allowing frequent execution of the test and tight control of the KPI evolution.
· Adaptability: the system can be implemented in most machine tools as connectors to main CNC manufacturers are available.
Machine Tool Fingerprint can be adopted by both Machine tool builders and end-users.
