Reliably detect tool breakage with the TD 110

Klose GmbH & Co. KG

Michael König

"The TD 110 replaced our old, self-made tool breakage inspection system. We were able to upgrade the machine on our own without difficulty. The cycles were also easy to install thanks to the HEIDENHAIN Helpline's remote access. With fixtures already in place from our previous system, the entire installation process was finished in under two hours."

"It's hard to find a faster way to reliably inspect tools for breakage than with the TD 110. That's why we recommend this HEIDENHAIN inductive tool breakage detector to our customers."

Bruhin & Diethelm AG

Beat Rüdisüli

"Undetected tool breakage causes knock-on damage and high costs. We didn't want to take that risk on any of our machines, including our portal milling machine dating from 2009. And especially during unattended shifts. So we needed a retrofit option. We chose the TD 110 from HEIDENHAIN because it's non-contact and can be installed anywhere within the machine envelope." 

DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH

Dr. Markus Michalski

"We traditionally used laser systems for tool breakage detection in our own milling machines. Using these systems to inspect tools after each use costed valuable machining time. So we decided to test the TD 110. Its simplicity was an instant sell. The TD 110 is fast and reliable. And because it isn't bloated with features we don't need, it's also low-cost. We've also combined it with the process monitoring functionality of the TNC7, allowing us to better understand, stabilize and monitor processes for much greater efficiency. It's an important step toward automating our tool changes."
