SOLUTIONS FOR MULTI-MOTOR MACHINES
Many applications require that more than one motor be monitored, such as turning machines or Rotary Transfer Lines where it’s sometime necessary to monitor multiple spindle and axis motors. Digital Way has developed a full range of monitoring units that perfectly fit to your specific requirements.
MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEMS PRODUCT LINE

WattPilote Turning has been especially designed to monitor turning machines. On turning operations, it sometimes happens that monitoring only the power consumed by the spindle is not enough, because spindle acceleration may hide the cutting signal. In this case, it is necessary to also monitor the two axis motors. The three channels allow it to independently monitor the spindle motor and also the two axes of motion of the turret. WattPilote Turning can also be installed in networked configurations for easy handling of the complete production line.
- Maximum number of controlled machinings : 120
- Minimum time of control : 0.07 sec.
- Maximum time of control per cycle : 50 minutes
- Reaction speed : 0.005 sec.
- Stored machining curves : last 30
- Stored graphical alarms : last 30
- Stored event log and wear trend : last 65000
- Power, derivative, energy control Simultaneous
- Measurement accuracy 0.01% Available from 100W to 100 kW measurement range
WattPilote Quad has been designed especially for four-spindle machining centers. The four channels may monitor simultaneous or independent motors. WattPilote Quad can also be installed in networked configurations for easy handling of the complete production line.
- Maximum number of controlled machinings : 120
- Minimum time of control : 0.07 sec.
- Maximum time of control per cycle : 50 minutes
- Reaction speed : 0.005 sec.
- Stored machining curves : last 30
