Functionality

The InterFace Control System (IFC) is a face detection system for detecting a tilted position of the tool in the tool interface caused by a foreign object such as a chip caught between the tool face and spindle. A sensor installed in the bearing cover of the spindle measures the deformation or deformation of the toolholder on a ring gauge. The measurement takes place either during acceleration of the spindle or at constant speed. The communication between the industrial PC and the controller takes place via PROFINET. An application especially for machining processes where a particularly high accuracy of tool clamping is required.

All advantages at a glance

o Process safety: High reliability through > 99 % detection probability

o Sensitivity: Chips > 40 µm directly detectable. Small chips, between 20 µm and 40 µm visible with teaching

o 100% detection range: Chip detection over the entire circumference of the flat surface

o High robustness and long service life due to non-contact measurement without the need for rotating parts or rotary transmitters

o Main time neutral: Due to the measuring possibility during the acceleration phase, no interruption of work necessary; alternatively also possible at constant speed

o Speed stability: suitable for speed ranges up to 30,000 rpm

o Evaluation electronics outside the spindle: low integration effort, installation in short spindles possible

o Length growth sensor included, without additional sensor

o Fast switch-off option when chips are detected due to the shortest measuring time within only three spindle revolutions (see Kessler Motor Spindle H80 < 150 ms)

o Can be integrated into the H80, H200, V100, MT80 and MT100 spindles and many more on request

o Maintenance/sensor exchange possible with installed spindle


Basic principle

Tools act with a force on the flat surface and on the cone surface and create an individual Deformation. Deformation can be detected by an eddy current sensor on a rotating measuring ring.

Chip between toolholder and spindle shaft produces an uneven deformation


System configuration

Technical data

o Chip size LxWxH:

      - >7×1×0,04 mm (steel chip, without reference measuring)

      - <7×1×0,04 bis >7×1×0,02 mm (steel chip, with needed reference measuring) 

o PROFINET connection for PLC communication

o Optional Connection to screen Input device (HMI)


Sensitivity

o   Chips > 40 µm directly visible

o   Small chips with a size between 40 µm and 20 µm and left-hand rotating tools require teaching

o Achievable accuracy depends on the spindle and the sensor position

      - HSK 63   è 20-30 µm

      - HSK 100   è 30 µm


Communication/Interface

o PROFINET

o GSD file describes interface

o Industrial standard protocol

o Customer can choose between different measurement Options

  - Ramp, constant, with reference, without reference

o Shaft displacement

o Customer receives status, error message

o Future measurements
