EWS FLEX BOX - Protection for Machine and Too

Self-sufficient. Versatile. Scalable.

With EWS FLEX BOX, MCU offers an unprecedented variety of solutions.
Thanks to its unique combination, the system can be adapted to a wide range of requirements.

Connection of up to 2 hybrid sensors (3D acceleration MEMS + piezo single-axis);
Collision monitoring with fast stop; definition of limit values via the NC program;
System communication via OPC UA: tool limits; readout of machine data (configurable in the editor);
Graphic display/analysis in the generic user interface (integrated in the control system)

Modules available:
Machine history logbook: Collisions, vibration RMS, alarms, warning messages, etc.
Collision prevention: Avoidance of collisions as a result of operating errors
Vibration history: Storage of signal history for each collision alarm event
Spindle Check-Up: Accumulation of spindle operating time for both vibration and temperature ranges
3 axes real-time data: Visualization of spindle vibrations (3 axes) during machining process

Technical data:
Single-board computer with Linux, 4GB Ram, 32GB hard disk
Up to 2 sensors MODBUS RTU
6 digital inputs 24V 4 semiconductor outputs
1 fast collision output directly from sensor
3 changeover contacts for 3 limit values (1x dual-channel for quick stop via emergency stop circuit of machine)
RJ45 socket for TCP/IP connection to controller or PC
