ASSISTEC AND MONTRONIX: A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP



The ideal partner for industrial automation solutions

Since 1990, Montronix has been a leading supplier of process analysis and tool control solutions, machine protection devices and analysis of machine conditions. The monitoring systems developed by Montronix Manufacturing Solutions are used in industries all over the world and are helping to reduce production costs in many companies. They are able to identify equipment problems, and diagnose and solve the causes of malfunctions.

Assistec has been working for some time with Montronix. In particular, we use this company's products to meet the system integration needs within the machine tool park, such as the installation of tool monitoring systems or collision protections for the machinery.

Services offered thanks to Montronix

With the collaboration of Montronix, we are able to provide customers with efficient and precise CNC machine tool monitoring, with applications for machining centres, lathes, grinders, drills, cutters, robots, handling and self-diagnosis machines. We can provide the following services:

  • SBR - Tool and process monitoring:

With the installation of intelligent sensors on the machine and software, we are able to monitor the state of tool wear and the production process. The benefits are numerous and include elimination of scrap problems, optimisation of machine cycle times, reduction of costs due to premature tool replacement, and prevention of tool breakage caused by abnormal wear or chipping during tool life.

  • PULSE NG - Collision monitoring:

The 4.0 Ready PULSE NG system is the ideal solution to protect the CNC machine. The application uses specially designed sensors to detect rapid collisions, vibration overload, force and power, condition of bearings, linear guides, spindle, etc. The advantages are numerous, and include: machine protection in the event of collisions, vibration monitoring during machining, tool change monitoring, predictive maintenance on tool changes;

  • WIFI BOX NG - Machine status monitoring:

Portable Wi-Fi diagnostic system that detects problems on machine parts, such as wear, trend statistics, damage, geometry and clamping errors. The advantages are numerous and include: increased machine uptime, verification of maintenance performed, improved tool life, optimised cutting parameters.

Discover the industry of the future with Assistec

With Assistec, automation and innovation are Made in Italy. For 20 years we have been providing electronic and mechanical technical support for machine tools, made possible by our extensive knowledge on the CNC machine and how it interfaces with the external world, with the integration of hardware and software systems. In particular, Assistec is able to integrate third-party hardware systems, such as those seen with Montronix.

  • Conventional machine tools and computer numerical control (CNC) machines are both used for machining, but have significant differences in several key practical aspects.

    So, if you are wondering whether CNC machines are better than traditional ones or whether it is time to replace your machines with automated solutions, below you will find all the elements you need for an in-depth evaluation of the question.

    We have examined 7 evaluation criteria, making an objective judgement for each of them based on the practical applications of the machine type.

  • What is the CNC lathe and how does it work?

    The computer numerical control (CNC) lathe is one of the most advanced and precise tools in the field of machining. Its ability to perform complex machining operations with high precision and repeatability has, after all, revolutionised the manufacturing industry, significantly optimising production processes in many sectors. In the following lines, we will explore in detail how the CNC lathe works, analysing its main components, the programming process and practical applications.

    We will also look at the interactions between hardware and software, the types of tools used and how machining parameters are controlled, to summarise the potential of a technology that has become strategically relevant today.

  • An Evening of Cohesion and Fun for Our Team!

    On Friday 31 May, we spent the late afternoon and evening in cohesion and fun with activities that strengthened the bonds between us.

    Activities held:

    - An exciting quiz on our company, where we tested our knowledge and shared laughs.

    -A table-football tournament where great talent and team spirit emerged, also showing the competitive side!

    To end on a high note, we had a company barbecue in collaboration with Grill Street BBQ, a perfect opportunity to relax after the different matches!

    P.S.: The photos are not great, but it's a sign that the afternoon was fun!
