Brankamp CMS-02 System for Collision Monitoring

Marposs Corp. has announced the availability of its new Brankamp CMS-02 stand-alone system for collision monitoring and crash damage mitigation in machine tools. The system employs a ceramic strain sensor to detect irregularities in the production process by measuring elastic deformation in the range of 0.1 microns, and both slow and dynamically increasing forces which have damage potential. It then reacts extremely fast--in the range of 1 millisecond--by sending a stop signal to E-STOP helping to alleviate or even eliminate machine crashes that can result in high repair costs and long downtimes.
