AI monitors wear on ball screws
The maintenance and timely replacement of defective components in machine tools is an important part of the production process. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a system that takes over the fully automatic monitoring of ball screws in machine tools.

In order to be able to reproduce all processing steps of complex workpieces with standard motor spindles, several machines are often required. As a result, time and accuracy are lost due to time-consuming reclamping. A spindle row turret offers a more flexible solution for multi-spindle parallel machining of complex workpieces.
