Safepilote: Protect Your Machines and Tooling
and Tooling
Minimize Damage
resulting from
Collisions
SafePilote is a 3-axis accelerometer sensor and
processor specially designed and built in Digital
Way’s lab to provide you with the most effective
means for protecting your machines against
damage resulting from a crash or a collision.
Excessive vibrations during machining are one of the main sources for degrading
the quality of your production. This system helps you keep your machine working
in good condition. Its very high sensitivity also gives you the ability to detect out-of-
balance problems with your high-speed tooling. SafePilote MCM acts as a true
“black box” that will allow you to track all unexpected events occurring during the
use of the machine. Each alarm is stored in the system’s memory with the
corresponding shock and vibration curves.
- Outer Ring
- Inner Ring
- Rolling elements
- Cage
Keep an eye on spindle bearing condition by
controlling vibrations in the 3 different axes.
Thanks to its high sensitivity, you’ll also be
able to detect any balancing issue with your
high speed tools.
Detects a chip in the tool holder
Machining centers that use automatic tool changers provide many production
benefits, but they are susceptible to contamination by metal chips and swarf. Air blasts
are no guarantee that debris will not become trapped between the tool holder seat (or
taper) and the spindle cone. This debris has a direct impact on part quality.
