The modern CNC rotary table is not simply a vice with a rotation function. It is a fully-fledged, complex CNC axis that must not only withstand high forces and deliver high accuracy, but also cope with adverse conditions in the machine room: chips, coolant, vibrations, temperatures. In addition, high demands are placed on dynamics, safety, workpiece clamping, and service life.
Advantages
With intelligent sensors, data loggers, and interfaces, you can
– Downtime reduced
– predictive maintenance signalled
– Damage analyses simplified and accelerated
– and above all, potential damage can be avoided in good time (provided corresponding signal evaluation) – and all this without the need for technicians, thanks to remote maintenance.
Disadvantages
Every piece of technology has its pitfalls. The more you have, the more can go wrong. Despite the highest quality precautions, isolated failures are possible that I wouldn't have without a monitoring system – just like with any vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pL LEHMANN access my turntable at any time and download operational data? Answer: No. In the event of a fault, if pL LEHMANN wants to access the turntable via a point-to-point connection, the customer must first give their consent.
Which data can pL LEHMANN view when connected to the smartBox?
Answer: Number of revolutions, number of clamping cycles, clamping pressure, air humidity, temperature, shock and internal pressure, partly per time unit, partly as a trailing pointer. This aids in diagnosis and troubleshooting and provides important information for preventive maintenance or upcoming repairs.
