Summary
During cutting, the adaptive tool monitoring system, TMAC, will measure tool wear and detect breakage in real-time, while simultaneously monitoring tool and spindle vibration. Using the live cutting data, its adaptive control feature will optimize the process by adjusting feed rates to reduce cycle time up to 60%.

Benefits
- Run better than your best day, every day
- Visualize your cutting process
- Protect you machine by taking action automatically on exception - stopping, retiring tools, calling for help, etc.
- Boost production by speeding up feed rates when cutting conditions allow it.
Components
- TCU dedicated TMAC processor installed inside machine
- Integration; Typically a machine tool option that prepares the machines inputs and logic for TMAC
- Sensors; Typically one Horsepower sensor per driven spindle, optionally vibration, temperature, and pressure sensors
