Challenges in machine tools – why sensor technology is critical

Modern machine tools combine precision, dynamics and productivity. Even the smallest deviations quickly lead to quality losses, scrap and downtime. In motor spindles, swivel axes and rotary tables, thermal drift, imbalance, resonances and EMC interference impair control quality – a noise-immune measuring system and continuous condition data acquisition therefore form the basis for stable precision and high availability.

Sensor solutions from Lenord+Bauer deliver robust, high-resolution signals even in the presence of oil, coolants, contamination, shock, vibration and fluctuating temperatures. Optimized circuit and shielding concepts as well as encapsulated electronics ensure fail-safe operation throughout the lifecycle and reduce life cycle costs – for reproducible results, short cycle times and efficient processes. In addition, integrated condition monitoring functions enable early detection of deviations and support predictive maintenance.
