Sensors
Montronix monitoring systems use one or more strategically placed sensors to measure key parameters of a machine or process. The Montronix monitor analyzes the signals from the sensor to detect variation in a process, crashes, or other changest that could result in failures. With advanced signal processing techniques, it is possible to detect such events as collision, missing tools or parts, tool breakage and tool wear. The ability to detect abnormal conditions depends on the proper selection and placement of the sensor.
Montronix Sensor Toolbox
Sensors are selected based on:
- Machine or process type and
- Physical parameter to be measured.
Montronix sensors typically measure force, thrust, torque, vibration, power, acoustic emission, or combinations of these physical parameters. Montronix has a complete line of sensors suitable for industrial applications.
University research and shop floor experience have shown the value of using various sensor technologies for different monitoring needs. These findings indicate that each type of sensor has its own strengths and weaknesses. It makes sense to combine the strengths of different sensor technologies when addressing the needs of a wide range of manufacturing processes.

Montronix tool monitoring systems use one or more strategically placed sensors to measure valuable process data. The sensor's ability to detect abnormal conditions depends largely on selection and placement.
**In these applications, machine power or broadband vibration monitoring typically provide very limited performance when used individually. However, when power and broadband vibration monitoring are combined, the performance improves significantly. |
