Techna-Tool Inc. products

The Techna-Check® model TC-USB is a Tool Monitoring system designed to use our PWM-TTBUS series power transducers to measure true power on a machine spindle or axis motor. It can be used on standard motors, AC servo motors and variable frequency drives. The Techna-Check determines if there is a Broken, Dull or Missing tool. The system also has the capability to interface with an accelerometer to measure vibration on a spindle or fixture and verify it is within a set range.

The Techna-Check model TCPCI120 is a Tool Monitoring system designed to use our PWM-TTBUS series power transducers to measure true power on a machine spindle or axis motor. It can be used on standard motors, AC servo motors and variable frequency drives. The Techna-Check determines if there is a Broken, Dull or Missing tool. The system also has the capability to interface with an accelerometer to measure vibration on a spindle or fixture and verify it is within a set range.

The Techna-Check® TC6400 series are Tool Monitoring systems designed to use our PWM-TTBUS series power transducers to measure true power (P = √3 x U x I x Cos?) on a machine spindle or axis motor. It can be used on standard motors, AC servo motors and variable frequency drives. The Techna-Check determines if there is a Broken, Dull or Missing tool. The system also has the capability to interface with an accelerometer to measure vibration on a spindle or fixture and verify it is within a set range.

The Techna-Check® model PM-1 is a production monitoring system which is easily mounted in your machine`s electrical cabinet. The PM-1 is one of the most comprehensive production monitoring systems available today. The PM-1 monitors the production from any machine on your shop floor and reports back the machine`s production through Ethernet to our custom software, also viewable via a webpage.

The Techna-Guard product line is designed to protect and optimize machinery and processes driven by three-phase AC motors. Techna-Guard protects machinery by monitoring power consumption of the motor while providing valuable information on load and performance. Techna-Guard works on any size motor and can monitor variable frequency drives.

The two scanner variations of the type TK7 have identical features. The only difference is that in variation “A” the rotational movement is limited by a mechanical stop inside the housing while the scanner “RL” can rotate in both directions without stopping. This is for checking two tools. These scanners are best suited for tight spaces where a larger scanner may not fit, such as Swiss style machines or multi-spindle heads.

BK Mikro TK8A is a scanner designed mainly for broken tool detection inside the tool changer of machining centers adding little or no additional cycle time. The controller stores up to 512 different tool lengths in memory and is controlled using 24vdc M-Code/Macro I/O combinations, Profibus, Profinet or DeviceNet. The system can check tools whose lengths vary as much as 15 inches from the shortest to longest in the changer. Each of the 512 different tools can have individual tolerance ranges set varying between 0.15 and 25.4 degrees.

BK Mikro TK91A is a scanner designed mainly for broken tool detection inside the tool changer of machining centers adding little or no additional cycle time.
