Optimise the machining process without changing your NC program
Enhance your machining capability and reduce costs without altering your existing NC programs. Made up of several software packages, the ACM Suite (Adaptive Control and Monitoring) provides the essential tools to get your machine working at maximum productivity — without a large investment of your time. Each application can be used independently and tailored to your specific needs, or together as a complete suite.
With ACM Suite products you can:
- Facilitate unsupervised machining by detecting real-time breakage and cutting anomalies.
- Lower cutting-tool expenses through optimal tool usage.
- Boost machine throughput with real-time adaptive feed control.
Features
- Real-time monitoring of all essential machining signals and tool data for fully automated background operation.
- Fully automated and semi-automated modes for maximum flexibility.
- Tool-type-specific cutting-tool breakage protection.
- A range of optimisation strategies to achieve specific business objectives.
- Integrated safety features to prevent conflicts and false alarms when an operator intervenes or when process data is incomplete.
- A messaging system that enables flexible automation for unattended machining.
- Smooth interoperability among all products within the ACM Suite.
- Seamless integration into current workflows — no changes to NC code and no additional operator training required.
Where it fits
ACM is a natural building block of a connected, data-driven shop floor. It pairs well with a wider MES and IIoT deployment — the per-tool process data ACM produces feeds straight into OEE, monitoring and predictive-maintenance use cases.
