It is the system, studied and defined by FPT in the last years to control and maintain the accuracy of the machine when the environmental temperature conditions change in the place where the machine is installed.
The system is fully integrated in the machine and is made up of these main elements:
- Thermal insulation panels suitably placed in the areas of the machine
most exposed to environmental thermal effects. The panels are
equipped with a special material that acts as a thermal insulator and
are designed to ensure that there are no differences in temperature
on different zones of the same structure during variations in ambient
temperature: in this way the ISOTHERMAL condition of the structures is
achieved and granted.
- Thermal probes for direct and automatic detection of the
temperatures achieved by the different machine structures over time.
The probes are directly connected to the CNC of the machine and the
software developed by FPT acquires the values;
- Thermal probes for the direct and automatic detection of the temperatures achieved by the workpiece in the working area;
- Display panel of machine temperature condition: the panel, placed on the frontal part of the machine near the access doors, allows the user of the machine to see in real time the trend of the measured temperatures;
- Software for acquiring temperature values and for processing an adjustment algorithm.
