PCI SCEMM’s e-SPINDLE Monitors Cutting Processes in Real Time to Optimize Tool Life and Workpiece Quality

In September, Absolute Machine Tools partner PCI-SCEMM introduced at EMO 2019 a new electro-spindle that integrates sensors and actuators to monitor cutting processes and adjust parameters to optimize tool life and workpiece quality.

The e-SPINDLE was developed in France in collaboration with the Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry (Cetim) and the Aix-en-Provence campus of the French Arts et Métiers engineering and research graduate school.

At the show in Hannover, Germany, PCI demonstrated three e-SPINDLE applications that showcased smart machining technology:

“e-SPINDLE technology from PCI is another way Absolute Machine Tools enables its customers to participate fully in smart manufacturing, the IIoT, and Industry 4.0,” said Absolute Machine Tools president Steve Ortner.
