Not every cause of a collision shows up in the control data alone. 
Manual setup mode and running in new NC programs both call for sensor-based monitoring on top of that — and that's exactly what the EWS FLEX BOX delivers.

With up to two hybrid sensors (3D MEMS acceleration plus single-axis piezo), the system picks up collisions, vibration, and spindle condition right at the machine — with an emergency shutdown response time under 1 ms.

Fließtext-Bullets

• Collision monitoring with rapid shutdown: stops the machine through a high-speed sensor output before serious damage occurs
• Collision Prevention: the same operator-error detection as EWS COP, sensorless, based on control data
• Machine history log: collisions, vibration readings, and alarms recorded in full — a real help for troubleshooting and maintenance planning
• Spindle check-up: accumulated runtime broken down by vibration and temperature range, flagging wear before it turns into failure
• Real-time 3-axis data: spindle vibration visible live, right as machining happens
• Tool and machine data: pull tool limits and machine data into your existing systems via Hotlink TCP

Self-contained, versatile, scalable: the system adapts to whatever you need it for — from basic collision monitoring all the way to full process diagnostics.

How It Compares to EWS COP: EWS COP checks operator inputs with no sensors involved — built to catch the typical input errors. 
The EWS FLEX BOX builds on that with sensor-based monitoring and spindle diagnostics.
