CNC machine monitoring guides from Scout MES are about reading data on how your machine tools work, straight from the control and without manual notes. Here you will find how to measure machine run time and performance, and what the data tells you about production and maintenance.
Scout MES pages on this topic
- Real-time machine monitoring – live status, downtime, OEE and programs from CNC and PLC controls over the LAN.
- Machine timeline – machine states in colour over time, with downtime, program, operator and job.
- Historical machine data – an event table with the columns you choose and export to an XLSX file.
- Legacy machine monitoring – machines without a CNC or PLC: the BIOS-IO-01 module reads the run signal and sends it over the LAN.
- Trumpf laser monitoring – run status and program of Trumpf lasers.
- CNC machine connectivity – connection guides for CNC controls, robots, PLCs and protocols.
