Safecontrol 4.0

Description
DIGITAL MEASURING SYSTEM FOR CHECKING SPINDLE CLAMPING FORCES
 
Safecontrol 4.0 is the latest version of our market leading spindle clamp force gauge. This advanced system has a main body that can be adapted for a range of spindle tapers with a clamping range range of 0-100kN.
 
Using Bluetooth connectivity it can automatically transfer the readings to the KELCH App (Android & iOS) on a mobile phone or tablet for monitoring and tracking results.
 
By regularly checking the clamping force of your machine spindles, you can pre-empt catastrophic spindle failures and prevent lost production time due to lengthy repairs.

Overview

Safecontrol 4.0 - an important component for quality assurance and process reliability within your production
 
Safecontrol 4.0 is equipped with all the latest technology to integrate seamlessly with your other Industry 4.0 production systems. The system benefits from non-contact BlueTooth technology, QR Code spindle identification and an Android or iOS app to manage the data on your phone or tablet. The optional ruggedised tablet PC completes the set and allows instant logging and reviewing of all your spindle pull force data.
 
 
The Safecontrol 4.0 set is a must have gauge for any manufacturer or maintenance shop who produce, repair and rebuild machine spindles. This is also essential kit for machine tool service engineers for onsite testing. 
 
Key Features:
  • Robust device with easy operation

  • Integrated LCD display automatically rotates data to match spindle orientation

  • App for 100% process reliability

  • Fast, trouble-free and reliable measurement immediately after the clamping process in the machine spindle

  • High measuring accuracy (0.5% of the measuring range end value)

  • Large measuring range (0-100 kN)

  • One basic device suitable for all adaptors (HSK, PSC and SK/BT adaptors available)

  • Data display on mobile or tablet PC via Bluetooth transmission

  • Calibration and repair service

  • Optional ruggedised tablet PC with KELCH App pre-installed

 
No need for individual sensing bars for each spindle type. One sensing bar with the different adaptors, reduces the cost and means only one item needs calibrating.
 
Other benefits include guaranteed machining quality and accuracy, reduced reject rates and machine down-time, with improved operator safety and process reliability.

Options

The cased set shows the optional ruggedised tablet control unit.

The tablet is designed for the machine shop environment providing drop and moisture resistance. Pre-loaded with the special KELCH application software on the Android platform this facilitates data gathering and monitoring for each machine spindle.

The inbuilt QR Scanner provides for auto scan to open the relevant folder to store the measured values. The folder holds the readings of each measurement for analysis. This gives a clear indication of the fatigue in the spindle gripper mechanism. The tablet connects with the Safecontrol electronic reader via Bluetooth, so no cables are required.
