iTENDO²
Sensory toolholder, components and accessories
The iTENDO² is an intelligent toolholder, available in three variants, which uses an acceleration sensor close to the workpiece to provide precise stability values for process optimization. The basic version of iTENDO² pad wirelessly sends data to a tablet PC. iTENDO² easy connect enables integration into the machine with data transmission to a process monitoring system via an analog interface. The iTENDO² easy monitor version offers a software extension for easy process monitoring with machine integration.

Monitoring Quality
When countersinking, the iTENDO² monitors compliance with the surface quality. In this application, monitoring of the countersinking process is used for quality and process control as well as for documenting features that are critical to functionality.
Tool Monitoring
With the iTENDO², minimal vibrations can be detected in tools as small as Ø 3 mm in diameter, which can indicate tool breakage due to wear or a feed rate that is too high. This helps to avoid or minimize machine downtimes.
Optimizing Processes
The optimum process settings can be determined by comparing the recorded vibration data. This allows the parameters to be set in the best possible way and the cutting process to be made even more precise and efficient, as can be seen in the example of thread milling.
