Industry Focus: Manufacturing
Techna-Tool Inc is a USA based company that specialises in providing reliable tool and process monitoring systems for the manufacturing sector. Their products are used to protect machinery such as lathes, drills and milling equipment.
Customer Problem
Techna-Tools PWM 3110T Techna-Check product is used by their customers to monitor for broken, worn or missing tools through spindle power monitoring or vibration analysis. The measured power is used to determine if there is an issue, if so the PWM3100T shuts the machine to down to prevent production damage.
When Techna-Tool were looking for new current sensors to increase product accuracy and improve installation they turned to Raztec; the custom current sensor specialists.
