MT Connect: ? Enlighten in bank ⒐ silkworm?

Be located in the ITAMCO of north of American indiana city and TFT company, ever joined MT Connect software applies at the monitoring of the machine tool. Now, preparation of these two companies popularizes his other the applied field that has perspective more. Mass production company is willing to use new technology more, begin from miniature production first, in obtain initiative period after modest profit, again progressively promotion increases, hope to more get one's own back get after be in. But software of MT Connect join, the way that differs along it seems that develops. Always carry out this to occupy standard company, can get enormous positive result from this directly almost. Because MT Connect joins,this is software, make they can collect data from inside machine tool and other production facilities, pass these data, can discover and announce the bottleneck in those problems that detect hard beforehand or production. Below a lot of circumstances, can decide the solution of these problems easily. Its are as a result: Can use manufacturing device better, prompt delivery, reduced the administrative job to the workshop. Graph Mr 1 Price but from with workshop network connective on any PCs, the dashboard of the mechanical supervisory system that the examination joins by MT Connect software is operated shows image ITAMCO company (the city of general benefit Mao Si that is located in indiana city) it is the processing factory that provides accurate machining service and production of open mode gear, just finished recently its the mechanical monitoring project of software of join of use MT Connect of first phase. Use this system, can collect all sorts of data from machine tool of 35 numerical control, include gear grinder, milling machine, lathe and gush bolus polisher among them. The view of chief Mr Joel Neidig of the technical manager according to ITAMCO company and project of software of MT Connect join, the efficiency of these machine tools raises this company monitoring apparently, already made its machine down time, reduce every months on average 15% . Because of this ITAMCO company inside these two factories all 150 machine tools, will 2013 bottom, deploy software of MT Connect join, make its and supervisory system join together. Task Force Tips (TFT) company (be located in Valparaiso to press down) the manufacturer that is equipment of fire control of a birth. This company has the machine tool of all sorts of 18 model and brand, by monitoring of operating system of software of join of a MT Connect. The range of products of this company involves a variety of intricate work of different batch production. Had done attemper the job, ensure smooth the working flow with stability, it is the one big challenge that TFT company place faces all the time. Mr Nate Price is in charge of project of software of MT Connect join carry out executive job, he says, supervisory system can help real time dog the manufacturing details with the computation of the spare parts and specific monitoring. Be opposite through this system the breakdown of the machine tool or urgent stop machine the report that issue makes quick response, TFT factory improved its productivity, make its and production plan to keep consistent, in the pull current Cheng that introduces new product or special product this plant ceaselessly again at the same time. It is when the mechanical supervisory system that installation joins by MT Connect software is operated one set, these two companies are faced with ITAMCO and TFT a difficult and tortuous study path, because they are,this basically is those who use this technology is inchoate the person that use. This one system is remarkable of advantage reflect quickly, persuaded them to make original decision easily. More important is, if here is encouraging,its are as a result, then these two companies take a decision one pace lay a course, in order to enlarge the applied domain of operating system of software of MT Connect join. Graph the operation of shift application process that Mr 2 Neidig is demonstrating its smartphone to go up, how to make its can collect the data ITAMCO company inside the workshop to had joined MT Connect software and 8 machine tools join, make supervisory system begins the work. The operation disappear energy consumption that will be used at deciding what machine tool by the data that MT Connect joins software is collected is the biggest, so that make these machine tools are in,be not job of period of time of the height that use phone, achieve the goal that reduces specific power consumption thereby. This workshop also joins MT Connect software regards a kind of current data as the format, use at providing the mobile facility of blue tooth software, by its company interior develops development these device, but will sell on commercial market. The device of this kind of IBlue that be called deserves to have many interface, the hand-held hardness instrument that can choose with the user, thermometer or dial gauge join. The hardness of workpiece, temperature and dimension can be collected from the workshop anyplace, and its wireless deliver computer of smartphone, flat or computer in. The applied formulate that TFT company also is software of MT Connect join a giant plan. Now, the machine tool of total type of production of this factory already joined with this supervisory system, and increased more again remain at dogging, the condition of machine tool data of record and analysis. Soon, the amount of the spare parts and manufacturing cycle time also will be conveyed automatically an ERP enterprise resource that developing ceaselessly plans in the system. This company still prepares appearance of preliminary adjustments of its cutting tool, will great ability to take makings machine, maximum pressure cooling system and join of other peripheral equipment are together, make they can with system of machine tool numerical control (CNC) undertake communicating automatically. On, how does downstream machine tool join? MT Connect is a join standard that opens type to avoid royalty actually, use XML and Internet agreement technology regard a collective communication as the link, release the mechanical data on the network. In short, MT Connect can change special computer language into language of general simple and easy network, the data that it can be developed increasingly collects domain and mechanical monitoring software to apply program place to use. For example, the mechanical supervisory system of ITAMCO company is to be based on ShopViz over and an application program that designs for software of MT Connect join technically. Company of its traceable TechSolve, the project manager of this company realises, industrial department whether accept software of MT Connect join, depend on greatly of this software practical, the final user that is job shops and manufactory namely creates real value. As a result of preferential considered this, accordingly this company concentrates energy to be opposite above all of monitoring machinery and working status be clear at a glance against a rainy day over the method. 2008, standard of software of MT Connect join makes technical exposition in international above all (IMTS) on appear, come up against this one MT Connect first when Mr Neidig and its father Mr Gary when join software, they feel its apply mediumly in mechanical supervisory system, apparent very valuable. What when no less than Mr Neidig is recollected, say in that way, a blame that can make data communicates in the communication on the network is special the standard is " the thing that we mean. " graph 3 when large quantities of quantities are produced, the machining center of turning of much main shaft of TFT company uses nobody to turn an operation normally at that time, ITAMCO company has the CNC of 30 kinds of different type and the machine tool that come from ten manufacturer, accordingly, them easily and economic ground and a link of significant supervisory system photograph, be without hope and Yao to cannot be reached it seems that. They are conjectural, MT Connect can turn round this kind of situation. And more important is, mr Neidigs also can imagine development other valuable applied process, can access these data with standard format so. Soon, young Mr Neidig joined MT Connect technology to consult a group. As the ceaseless development of this standard and maturity, the idea that uses newly to its continues to ferment in his brain. During this, ITAMCO company begins to install its supervisory system with TechSolve company cooperation. Adapter of software of MT Connect join is installed on the machine tool that this needs to overcome company, big company rivering bend and manufacturer of other machine tool in Giddings&ewis company, campstool. The brand of numerical control system that its involve includes Mazatrol, Xi Menzi and FANUC. Actually, adapter is the special software establishment that a kind of installation regards a program as in CNC interior, the code that can issue with CNC, call the police, signal and other information photograph " suit " , make phase of special technical terms of they and MT Connect compatible. Another practical software is software of MT Connect representative, it collects data through adapter, make up its for XML code, make other software program can access this to be occupied on whole network (the Internet that includes long-range visit) . ITAMCO is used many with strategical means is built-in the acting software in its workshop network, the data bulk that handles because of them is very great. ShopViz company uses this data to show image and report, make controller people can see the mobile case inside the workshop. Include a in that way to resemble car apparatus dial plate among them advocate indication screen, provide the moving case of the be clear at a glance inside the workshop. To the end of 2011, 35 machine tools finished the join with supervisory system successfully. Nextpage " before using software of MT Connect join, our opposite produces problem utterly ignorant. " Mr Neidig says. Manager people realize, they need to undertake controlling to producing plan, spend in order to maintain the satisfaction of gain ability and client, but they do not know the problem gives the what place in working flow after all. Now, there was supervisory system in the factory, they can pass accurate real time data, see the problem of existence of the place inside the workshop. For example, warning apparatus issues signal, show through the appearance inside information of email, text or workshop board, tell them some station to the machine tool already stopped machine. Produce a plan to finish on time, can choose a variety of way, if arrange,be maintained or go to working flow move on another machine tool. Mr Neidig says, although its make the ability of reaction quickly, to discovering problem machine tool for very helpful, but do aux will be able to of good precaution job to get true get one's own back. The staff member of ITAMCO company can analyse the pattern of machine down time, make a solution or reorganize working flow. President Mr Stewart McMillan of the company of TFT of join sex problem with all and relevant appearance of preliminary adjustments of cutting tool of type of graph 4ZOLLER number, also be in IMTS international made technical exposition go up 2010 " discovery " software of MT Connect join. Mr Price memory says, his reaction is clear: "We need this one technology. " Mr McMillan with the rapiddest rate, let its company use this one popular at that time workshop network and technology of whole set join. Machine the staff member of job shops can see from the PC near every machine tool they need to install, move, detect and dog the information of the spare parts. This system cannot accomplish a thing is: Computation of the condition of concerned machine tool that during cannot entering CNC system automatically to operate, produces, periodic time, spare parts and cutting tool use the key that waits for a circumstance data. This should rely on operation personnel to input the data of amount of concerned spare parts and run time with manual means. Although be below the case that uses automation to assist device, resemble a form piling up scanner and ID employee identity to block reader for example, but this process still is compared slow, without error correction function, and can be only after its happening, ability is very good carry out, because its report,time interval reports for each order normally. "The existence of these defect, brought very big question to us, because TFT company has a lot of kinds of products, we are small lot production normally, " Mr Price says, "Small lot production, decide every spare parts needs how many handling time after all well and truly hard. This kind lacks the information of test and verify, can reduce cost estimated dependability and the uncertainty that increase workshop plan. Produce the bottleneck that equipment produces and the issue that use inadequacy, often can let people realise the seriousness of the problem. " accordingly, it is understandable that Mr McMillan generates strong interest to MT Connect. He uses the trend of electronic technology actively, with simplifying the operation of the workshop moves, and the decision that apace makes the mechanical supervisory system that installation joins by MT Connect software is operated one set, also be understandable. It is at the beginning of 2011, TFT company begins to cooperate with System Insights company, install its Vimana software to use a program, use at monitoring and the manufacturing efficiency that manage a machine tool. The design of Vimana software, use the dashboard that understands easily to show picture, the manager that is a workshop people provide a performance real time picture. For example, TFT company is resolved, want all machine tools that in letting its produce, use, join with supervisory system photograph directly. Do not need navigation program or grading to carry out. This is the order that one ticket is full of challenge sex. Although TFT company has aborning of machine tool of 18 numerical control to move only, include the machine tool of 10 different type among them, from horizontal machining center (HMC) to configuration diversification muti_function machine tool. Also included hole of one bench drill in this one detailed list / tapper and threading machine of a many main shaft. System Insights company claims, this workshop is on the foundation of its client, provided the model of a series of diversification. Carry out a proof however, below this kind of circumstance, vimana software is very capable, because it used advanced classified engine, to the MT Connect software that introduce join data undertakes sort and classification, in order to decide exact manufacturing time and nonproductive time. This classification engine can make its explain data correctly, when does the specification cut generation bits, even if with hereat parameter of interior of purpose machine tool may produce change. Another when the company of TFT of unit process of cargo bandling of transmitter of data of graph 5iBlue wireless industry puts forward important characteristic is: Can send email or short message announcement automatically, the machine down time of report machine tool, breakdown or other the incident that your person is interested in. As a result of some machine tools of TFT company, be like machine tool of whorl of graduation much axis, often be in long-term and unmanned the position that turns an operation, because this one machine processes operation personnel,normally need attends the machine tool of an above. Issue an announcement automatically, can ensure one needs the machine tool that attend, need not because operate personnel spell guard another machine tool and await very long time. Unlike ITAMCO company in that way, TFT company is not used communal show board the image that will show mechanical monitoring dashboard. Contrary, this dashboard image can be instantly on any PCs of every machine tool observation arrives. Of course, always allow to log onto any equipment to the network to all can visit these data remotely. The software of representative of join of a MT Connect that TFT company chooses network file server to go up only, from inside all MT Connect adapter data extraction comes out. System Insights company is recommended use this kind of method, because it is helpful for centralized central system management. This company claims, its open the structure that C++ of type source code acts as agent, apply to the adapter with many processing to connect interface. Because the type of system of the CNC inside the workshop is varied, because of this and interface of connective of MT Connect adapter also each are not identical. Below certain circumstance, this adapter has simple changeover to output those who control a system to have data report function only. Below other condition, this adapter uses one hardware interface, input with the electric power I/O inside Control Panel / join of output board photograph. A future that is full of a hope collects data through using same agreement join the machine tool is mixed, make software of MT Connect join mechanical inside workshop limits a kind application becomes monitoring likelihood. However, use other a variety of join also are a likelihood. Be in ITAMCO company, still use MT Connect to join software serves as public platform, collect data through IPod, send each machine tool to operate personnel. These operate personnel to grooming, use IPod will dog the spare parts that monitoring machine machines the on record in periodic time produces an amount. Every IPod to load call QUPID (" quality, price and date of delivery " element of value of 3 big clients is combined) mobile edition uses a program, develop by ITAMCO company. Use a program as this move, operator passes use IPod inside buy is photographed like the head, read take workshop route by implement a form code on a form code label on a form code on written material, machine tool and card of its employee ID, in order to found file of data of a XML. The clavier of IPod can be used at inputting the run time of the amount of finished product spare parts and machine tool. A SEND sends a statement, a database in sending this data document this workshop quality to run a system at the same time and firstly in the database of system of program of ERP company natural resources, join through a MT Connect that develops by TechSolve software adapter and photograph of ShopViz supervisory system join, in the statistical number that brings into its dashboard to go up. Current, join with the MTConnet that uses n at monitoring production facilities applied process is in development, use MT Connect to join software is operated and configure 8 machine tools of power supervisory system, collecting the data such as concerned electric current, voltage and power consumption. Be aimed at these records in manufacturing an activity, make a plan, deciding what operation is power consumption is the biggest " electric tiger. " next, if why furnish in electric power,this company will study rate is inferior during inside these operate reorder. These two how carries the decision ITAMCO company as a result plants that this experiment plans carry out electric power monitoring. MT Connect joins applied process also is in the program, so that the power consumption of air system is reduced inside monitoring factory. Produce a manufactory like great majority in that way, according to ITAMCO company estimation, the cost of specific power consumption of 10%~30% and empty press and compress air cop to concern. The resource that causes with leak through because efficiency is low,be being solved wastes a problem, ITAMCO hopes the cost of specific power consumption of this area can reduce an in part. TFT company still prepares to popularize software of MT Connect join to move in the operation inside the factory further. Its key job centers in 3 respects: The high-pressured cooling fluid of the device of good stuff feed on the management of cutting cutting tool, lathe and car milling machine is deferent. Not only to TFT company, and the development business to standard of software of MT Connect join, the management of cutting cutting tool is a preferential and main job. MT Connect joins the development of software can expand. Its name, increase each respects in noting mark and definition convention to apply easily at workmanship. Be in charge of joining MT Connect software expands cutting tool, clamping apparatus, a working group of workpiece and other and mobile equipment, include cutting cutting tool certainly finally inside patulous standard. Mr Price is one of members of this working group, his say: "Now, TFT company must with different method, decide each cutting tool according to different computer program. Our CAM software needs a kind of format, system of our cutting tool management needs format of another kind of software, and our setting file, still need another kind of format. " accordingly, this computer program cannot share data of cutting cutting tool easily. He thinks, using software of MT Connect join is a kind of good solution. TFT company is planning to use software of MT Connect join, of the database that runs cutting tool the system and appearance of preliminary adjustments of cutting tool of its number type measure data conformity to be together. Its ultimate goal is: Ensure compensation of current cutting tool length and other and relevant data, maintain corresponding connection with specific cutting tool from beginning to end. Its another advantage is, can prevent to not agree with the cutting tool that adds up to norms is gone to by installation in the main shaft of the machine tool. Mr Price still notices, software of MT Connect join is used on the lathe that contains layshaft function, can make the club expects feed device and CNC system undertake corresponding contacting, can make great ability gets making full use of so. This concept involves what take makings unit to great ability to detect data, make the length of great ability exceeds the length of a finished product. Below this kind of circumstance, a signal that comes from great ability to take makings unit can spark cycle of a treatment starts, and the layshaft of the machine tool is machined in this drawing of a spare parts rises in cycle implement the effect that places with the spare parts. Want odd part to be able to be offerred only enough long good stuff, collet of main shaft of facilitating machine tool or chuck cut off the card in the process to tighten in its fixed, can produce more so give " additional " spare parts, won't make the rest part becomes scrap. The great ability consumption that considers TFT company is very big, anticipating the savings that uses a field in this to spend is quite considerable. The as compatible as photograph of software of MT Connect join sensor on system of high-pressured cooling fluid, also will make them more agile. This is cooling fluid the value installs pressure to agree with on the level that the operation runs. "We always are not need general cooling fluid with 1000psi (1psi=6.

89kPa) full load pressure is deferent, " Mr Price explanation says, "Turn when lathe when the tower is in use condition, use inferior modest pressure, make its can use the cooling fluid tube with relatively simple setting and smaller negative charge and spray head. Still can reduce cost of specific power consumption. After deploying software of MT Connect join, this refrigeration system still can report the working state of they and supervisory system, be in spark urgent give out when the circumstance that call the police call the police information. ITAMCO company and TFT company know very well MT Connect joins software is a kind of method only, is not a purpose. The occurrence of MT Connect, the compatibility between the digitlization equipment to the middle of manufacturing industry was stridden tremendous one pace, also made contribution to improve productivity at the same time. This kind of join can calculate going up is the most important link. CNC Milling
