A fundamental approach for data acquisition on machine tools as enabler for analytical Industrie 4.0 applications

Decreasing ICT-costs propel connectivity and storage solutions for data generated, harvested and analyzed in machine tools. To acquire the necessary reliable, comprehensive and structured data for analytical applications, data from multiple sources must be acquired and combined. Many approaches for data acquisition either fail to cover all relevant data or cannot be put into action due to limited access on numerical controls. The following paper demonstrates the use of a multi-channel measurement application of a machine tool including its auxiliaries. The given approach was applied and verified on prototype machines. As a result, the application in current and future use-cases is discussed.ISSN:2212-827
