Caron Engineering’s DTect-IT product features robust vibration detection and monitoring capabilities designed to identify and respond to excessive bar feeder vibration before it impacts part quality or machine health. Bar feeders play a critical role in automated lathe operations, but imperfections in bar stock often go unnoticed until they cause costly issues. Material inconsistencies, alignment problems, and excessive vibration can result in: Dimensional inaccuracies Compromised surface finishes Increased machine wear and unplanned downtime High scrap rates DTect-IT&nbsp;solves this challenge with a real-time monitoring and correction system that detects excessive vibration at the spindle and takes immediate corrective action – before part quality is affected. Real-time vibration monitoring and automatic correction DTect-IT uses a high-resolution vibration sensor mounted on the main spindle to continuously monitor vibration signals during cutting. When vibration exceeds user-defined thresholds: Automatic spindle RPM adjustments: The system signals the CNC to reduce spindle RPM incrementally until vibration falls within acceptable levels – keeping the process within tolerance and preserving part quality. Emergency stop capability: If excessive vibration cannot be corrected through RPM adjustments, DTect-IT commands the CNC to stop, preventing equipment damage and unnecessary scrap. Key benefits and features Customizable vibration thresholds&nbsp;– Set user-defined vibration limits to trigger alerts or automated actions. Data logging &amp; analysis&nbsp;– Record vibration trends for predictive maintenance and process improvement. Seamless integration&nbsp;– Compatible with a wide range of CNC lathes and bar feeder systems. Enhanced part quality&nbsp;– Detects and mitigates vibration before it impacts surface finish or dimensional accuracy. Reduced scrap rates&nbsp;– Prevents full-bar scrap by identifying problematic material early in the process. Extended machine life&nbsp;– Protects critical components by minimizing vibration-induced stress. Increased efficiency&nbsp;– Automated corrections reduce operator intervention and increase uptime. User-friendly interface&nbsp;– Simplified setup and intuitive monitoring tools require minimal training. DTect-IT is not limited to bar feeder applications. As a powerful CNC sensor analysis platform, it supports a wide variety of sensor types – including vibration, strain, power, analog, and metrology inputs – giving manufacturers the ability to monitor, analyze, and react to a broad range of machining conditions in real time.</span></p>
