TMAC: Tool Monitoring Adaptive Control

Adaptive Control: Save Time and Money

Adaptive Control allows TMAC to regulate your machine’s feedrate override, maintaining a constant spindle motor horsepower during cutting. This feature optimizes cycle times, and includes Adaptive Extreme Limit checking. Adaptive Control reduces cycle time by optimizing feedrates, reducing feedrates in hard spots, and increasing them in soft areas or voids. Tool life is extended when a tool continually cuts at its optimum horsepower. This feature optimizes cycle times and still provides limits to protect the machine and tool. A new built-in feature of Adaptive Control is the ability to control Approach and Exit feedrates with a fixed value.
