• The BV100 sensor combined with the TSVA2-DGM amplifier and connected to a SPECTRA™ electronic unit is
    the perfect solution for:

    • Fault detection in process
    • State monitoring of tools
    • Machine diagnostics

    The BV100 sensor measures the mechanical vibration of the machine structure resulting from the cutting process (up to 10 kHz) to detect missing tools, broken tools, and severe process faults. It can also be used to monitor excessive vibration on bearings or spindles.

    This sensor also measures acoustic emission (AE) energy - the high frequency (50 kHz to 400 kHz) energy signals produced by the cutting process. The AE signal is ideal for breakage detection of small-diameter drills and taps.

    This sensor is easy to install on both new and existing machines. It was designed for use on machining centers with a wide variety of tools.The BV100 sensor is supplied with a signal conditioning TSVA2-DGM amplifier. This amplifier is sealed (IP67 rating), and can be placed within the machining environment.

    The amplifier is attached to the BV100 using a 5 meter cable. Cables up to 30 meters long can connect the amplifier to the controller.
