myWFL Austrian firm WFL Millturn manufactures a range of turning and turning-boring-milling machining centers, as well as software products that handle programming, simulation and collision prevention tasks. Its machines can be used to produce components for plastics processing including screws, barrels and cylinders.
What’s new? The myWFL software, which gives users operational data acquisition and predictive servicing capabilities for the company’s full line of machines. It includes the myWFL Cockpit, myWFL Energy and myWFL Condition Monitoring System software tools.
Benefits Broad-based system visibility and control. With myWFL Cockpit, users can see a display of the machine status and statistics, including machine performance, operating hours and override settings. Data is collected and stored on the control system, and dashboards can be viewed remotely on workstation PCs or mobile devices via a web browser. MyWFL Energy monitors energy consumption, and can track energy usage per workpiece, or by individual machine components like the high-pressure coolant pump. The myWFL Condition Monitoring System tracks friction values of the axes and spindles, as well as the milling spindle housing temperature and vibration levels, which can be used for early detection of possible malfunctions.
