MCI – Machine Condition Indicator with MCIview software

Using a sensor mounted on the spindle housing, MCI acquires the vibration signals from a machine tool fully automatically and continuously in all the different machine states of the production process.

The objective is to generate, store and monitor trends – characteristics measured for each cycle, cut or tool are stored (maximum values, performance values, average values, standard deviations). If these characteristic values exceed a defined threshold, a warning or alarm is displayed. This system allows early detection of typical symptoms of wear on the machine and critical changes in the cutting process.

MCIview provides the machine operator with a simple overview of the functions and allows quick access to the machine data without connecting a laptop computer or any other equipment.
