Overview
The BK Mikro 5-RL tool monitoring system is designed for precision tool position monitoring and detection in CNC, turning, milling, and multi-tool machining applications. This system is designed for simultaneous scanning of two tools, consisting of a control unit, sensing head, and connection cable for flexible installation in machine tool environments.
Key Features
- Dual-tool simultaneous monitoring and detection
- Customizable relay outputs with automatic zero position detection and cable break detection
- Teach-in cycle for quick tool position calibration
- Status indication via LED indicators for power, fault, and operation modes
- Support for multiple supply voltage configurations (120 VAC, 230 VAC, or 24 VDC)
- Industrial-grade construction for machine tool integration
Technical Specifications
- Power Supply: 120 VAC, 230 VAC, or 24 VDC (selectable)
