We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Breakage Detection",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Infrared probe sets machine tooling/checks jobs from
Marposs, which we summarised at the time by saying "One optical receiver is able to manage tool setting and up to four optical transmission part inspection spindle probes in the same machine tool".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Vertical machining centre speeds machining by two from
Whitehouse Machine Tools: "A Brother 4-axis, twin-pallet, vertical machining centre supplied by Whitehouse Machine Tools is helping Hydraulic Projects machine control valve and marine steering system components".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Schmersal UK
concerning its Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches
- take a look at Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches
which says: "Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches and wire-tensioning devices for safety-oriented applications make up the new range from Schmersal".
Take a look also at the news release from Heller Machine Tools, HMC machines 'intelligent' transmission parts,
as well as Machine tool setting, probing are cableless from Renishaw,
and Detecting tool breakage during machining from Renishaw.
