1. Key Drivers Behind the Emergence of Advanced Equipment

1.1. Manufacturers are Increasingly Investing in Smart Factories to Boost Productivity and Competitiveness

According to a Deloitte study, implementing smart factory technologies has led to an average 12% increase in labor productivity, 11% improvement in plant efficiency, and a 10% rise in overall output. The global smart factory market is expected to grow from USD 153.7 billion in 2019 to USD 244.8 billion by 2024.

This trend indicates that manufacturers are moving toward smart factory models, where real-time data from CNC machines, spindle sensors, and control systems must be collected, analyzed, and acted upon continuously. To achieve this, manufacturers require advanced measurement and control devices ones that offer flexible communication, high-precision monitoring, and seamless integration into their manufacturing ecosystems.

1.2. Tool Breakage Detection - A Key Factor for Reliability in Modern Machining

Tool breakage or chipping can lead to costly downtime, increased scrap and rework rates, and pose serious safety risks for operators during manual inspection.

Impact on production: Undetected tool breakage can result in a series of defective workpieces, increasing waste, rework costs, and machine stoppage ultimately reducing the overall efficiency of the production line.

Safety risk: Manual inspection often requires workers to approach rotating machinery and sharp metal fragments, exposing them to potential injury or serious accidents.

Precision manufacturers especially in mold & die, semiconductor, and optical component sectors are now in urgent need of automated tool breakage and wear detection solutions. Adopting such technology not only enhances productivity and lowers operating costs but also ensures operator safety, addressing a critical demand in today's precision manufacturing environment.

1.3. Stricter Operational Demands Require Smarter, More Intuitive Control Systems

Three primary causes of CNC programming errors are: formatting mistakes, process errors, and setup faults. This highlights the growing importance of user-friendly CNC control systems that offer intuitive programming support. Features such as 3D graphical interfaces, conversational programming, and adaptive user behavior learning can significantly reduce errors, improve operational efficiency, and shorten training time for operators.

Heidenhain's technical documentation on Dynamic Efficiency also highlights that chatter during machining exerts significant stress on tools and machinery, leading to reduced productivity and accuracy. The industry is facing increasing pressure to minimize vibration, extend tool life, and improve process reliability—all of which call for smarter, more dynamic control technologies.

3. Explore Detailed Solutions and Benefits of Use

3.1. VT 121 & VT 122 Tool Measurement and Inspection Camera Systems

3-in-1 functionality: Tool measurement, tool microscope, and wear control.

VT 121 enables users to inspect whether tools are damaged or broken.

VT 122 supports inspection for end mills, ball nose mills, and drills with diameters starting from 1 mm.

The new VT 121 and VT 122 tool measurement camera systems, equipped with VTC software, detect worn or damaged tools with exceptional speed and reliability in a fully automated process. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhances productivity.

3.2. TD 110 Tool Breakage Detection Device

Improved process reliability: The TD 110 helps reduce scrap and prevent secondary damage.

Lower system costs: With no need for auxiliary components, no maintenance, and only a single cable for operation, the TD 110 is a cost-optimized solution.

Reduced machine downtime: The TD 110 is 6 seconds faster per tool change than conventional laser-based systems. It can further reduce idle time when combined with the TNC7's process monitoring function. This sensor also integrates seamlessly into existing workflows at current spindle speeds.

Flexible retrofit: The TD 110 can be retrofitted to work with any controller.

3.3. TNC7 Contouring Control

The latest version of TNC7 offers an outstanding user experience, combining high-quality components with smooth, responsive touchscreen control.

TNC7 enhances the well-known HEIDENHAIN Klartext programming language with intelligent new functions.

The Advanced Dynamic Prediction (ADP) function enables optimized motion control.

The Dynamic Precision and Dynamic Efficiency software packages provide high-performance capabilities for more efficient and accurate TNC7 machining.

Protect your machines from damage while avoiding unnecessary downtime.
