January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
The FDI is comprised of off-the-shelf components, has eight digital inputs and two analog inputs, and is a self-contained DIN rail-mounted assembly. Each input, according to the company is user-configurable based on specific use. Users can monitor machines with Freedom eLOG or MTConnect software.
For monitoring, the eLOG platform automatically extracts data to produce Web-based reports and analytics on asset utilization, availability, performance, quality and OEE.
“The Freedom Digital Interface makes any machine or asset MTConnect-capable and brings older workhorse machine tools into the shop-floor monitoring realm without special programming, ladder logic or part program modifications,” said Pete Tecos, executive vice president, Marketing and Product Strategy for 5ME. “This takes advantage of MTConnect’s open-source standard to bring the benefits of efficiency monitoring to all shop floor assets.”
