Prime Technical Services Monitoring Solutions Support Lights-Out Manufacturing

Prime Technical Services Inc. (PTSI) showcases Tool Monitoring Adaptive Control (TMAC), Caron Engineering’s CNC tool monitoring and process control. Designed for real-time optimization, TMAC is designed to provide precise, efficient and reliable machining operations, including lights-out applications.

Features of TMAC include:

• Real-Time Tool Monitoring: TMAC is designed to continuously monitor tool performance, instantly detecting wear, breakage and overload conditions to prevent costly downtime and damage.
• Enhanced Process Control: Automatically adjusts machining parameters using real-time data to provide optimal cutting conditions, improving part quality and extending tool life.
• Adaptive Machining: TMAC learns and adapts to machining processes, providing consistent results even with small tools and tight tolerances required for precision machining.
• Increased Machine Uptime: Proactive alerts and automated responses keep machines running longer and more efficiently, making lights-out manufacturing achievable.

TMAC can help shops reduce scrap rates by catching tool issues and breakage in real time, minimizing waste. It can extend tool life and reduce unscheduled downtime with intelligent monitoring, as well as boost productivity with less manual intervention.

In addition to TMAC, PTSI showcases Caron Engineering’s full line of smart manufacturing technology for tool monitoring, automation and process control, as well as Blum-Novotest’s robust metrology solutions. These powerful technologies work together to enable lights-out machining.
