System for Spindle Growth Monitoring

Due to influences by temperature or mechanical forces, the spindle position may be displaced. This can have influence to the work-piece quality. Quality problems are mostly detected very late after measuring procedures which might cause a lot of scrap or problems during following processes.

The GEMDS system uses the data of a non-contact eddy-current sensor to provide a real-time monitoring of spindle elongation due to temperature changes (on the z-axis) or other reasons for displacement.
