8.1 Load Monitoring
The Load Monitor consists of a sensor that measures the electrical current
of the spindle motor and provides the relevant statistics that represent the
cutting behavior.
8.1.1 Load Monitoring with DC or AC Spindle
If the system is equipped with a DC Spindle, the Load Monitor graph
shows the change in current. The current is a function reflecting the
spindle torque, i. e. if the Workpiece requires a greater torque, the spindle
uses more current and this can be seen on the load monitor graph.
If the system is equipped with an AC Spindle, the Load Monitor graph
shows the change in current as well, but in this case the current is a
function of the Spindle Velocity. Therefore, if the spindle velocity is higher
the current grows higher, thus the graph shows a higher value. It
represents the load as well: if the workpiece requires a greater torque, the
spindle should be rotating at a higher velocity, which is reflected by the
load monitor graph.
8.1.2 Online Monitoring
The Online Monitoring mode provides information and statistics about the
load exerted during dicing of the current Workpiece. This monitoring is
termed "Online” because it monitors the current Workpiece while the
Spindle is operating and the cutting process is running.
Load monitoring statistics are viewed from the Load Monitor Workspace.
To Access the Load Monitor Workspace:
The User can access the Load Monitor Workspace in one of the following
ways:
• Click the Load Monitor Workspace button in the toolbar.
• From the Load Monitor menu, click Load
• On the right of the GUI main window, right-click the Load Monitor
gauge.
Note: On the Fortis machines (AC Spindle), the Load Gauge is not presented.
For more information about the Load Gauge, refer to
section 2.2.3.2.
