Tool breakage/tool wear monitoring
With the breakage/wear monitor, a cut-based tool breakage detection 
during active AFC can be realized.
Through the functions that can be defined by the machine tool builder 
you can define a percentage value for wear or breakage detection with 
respect to the rated power. 
When the defined limit spindle power range is not maintained, the 
TNC conducts an NC stop. 
Spindle load monitoring
With the spindle load monitoring function you can easily have the 
spindle load monitored in order, for example, to detect overloading the 
spindle power.
The function is independent of AFC, i.e. it is not cut-based and does 
not depend on teach-in steps. Through the functions that can be 
defined by the machine tool builder, you only need to define the 
percentage value for spindle limit power with respect to the rated 
power. 
When the defined limit spindle power range is not maintained, the 
TNC conducts an NC stop. 
This feature must be enabled and adapted by the machine 
tool builder. Refer to your machine manual.
