AMON

Our highly robust, secure and affordable AMON solution is an MES-System of Automated Monitoring for Various CNC Machines developed by ALEKTA — aiming to evaluate the performance of production capacities, analyze downtime and timely maintenance of equipment to assist you in due time management decisions making at production facilities.

DATA ACQUISITION

  • Operating Mode, CNC Status
  • Spindle, Feed Override
  • Drive Load
  • Tool Data and the Workpiece Coordinate System
  • Name of the NC Program, Workpieces, the Processing Time
  • Digital and Analog PLC Inputs / Outputs

INFORMATION

  • Main Production Time
  • Secondary Production Time
  • Time of Downtime for Technical Reasons
  • Time of Downtime for Organizational Reasons
  • No Tool or Resource
  • Emergency Stop
  • ... etc.

AUTOMATIC DATA ACQUISITION

Based on CNC Machine Data

  • Secondary Production Time (spindle warm-up, setting zero points of a workpiece, tool measurement)
  • Basic Production Time (manufacturing was done according to the control program)
  • Downtime—Staff-Related Reasons (feed stop)
  • Downtime—Personal Reasons (worker does not respond)

CAUSES OF DOWNTIME

Manually entered data by the terminal operator

  • Secondary Production Time (start-end time, machine maintenance)
  • Downtime—Organizational Reasons (absence of an operator; order, blank part, tool, staff, control program, technical process)
  • Downtime—Technical Reasons (repair after an accident, etc.)
  • Net-Working Time (Planned Time, Unplanned Time)

MACHINE TELEMETRY

Various data received from machine parts

  • Temperature of Machine Parts
  • Load of the Main and Feed Drivers
  • Working/Idle Feed

The system is fully compatible with CNC systems:
