Digital application smart tool holder
Digitalization is considered the biggest challenge facing the manufacturing industry. But it also brings opportunities for companies to make their processes more precise, more reliable, and faster. The prerequisite for achieving this is that intelligent systems identify unforeseen instabilities and intervene in real time to ensure process stability. The effect is to minimize scrap rates, drastically reduce production times, and significantly increase quality and efficiency – even in small batches.

Product Description
Digitalization is considered the biggest challenge facing the manufacturing industry. But it also brings opportunities for companies to make their processes more precise, more reliable, and faster. The prerequisite for achieving this is that intelligent systems identify unforeseen instabilities and intervene in real time to ensure process stability. The effect is to minimize scrap rates, drastically reduce production times, and significantly increase quality and efficiency – even in small batches.
iTENDO² combines the technical features of TENDO hydraulic expansion technology with digital process monitoring. From the metal cutting field, the iTENDO² smart toolholder is considered the non-wearing component “closest to the part” and can therefore be used for signal acquisition.

3. Application functions
1. Monitor quality
When countersinking, iTENDO² monitors the surface quality for acceptable quality. In this application, the monitoring of the counterbore process is used for quality and process control, as well as recording characteristics critical to this function.
2.Tool monitoring
With iTENDO², very slight vibrations in tools with diameters as small as Ø 3 mm can also be detected, indicating possible tool breakage due to wear or excessive feed rates. This helps avoid or minimize machine downtime.
3. Optimization process
By comparing the recorded vibration data, we can determine the optimal process settings. This allows us to optimally set parameters and make cutting processes more precise and efficient, an excellent example being thread milling.
