MTx INTRODUCTION
SKF Condition Monitoring Centre – Steyr 1 - 6 - 5
2. INTRODUCTION
The tooling industry has a growing need to increase productivity, machine availability, pre-
cision and reliability.
As a result it is increasingly important to avoid unplanned downtime, adopt effective main-
tenance approaches, and support quality and process improvements.
The SKF Machine Tool Observer MTx is a stand alone data logger system for machine tools
and machine tool spindles which offers benefits to both OEM and end users. It can easily be
integrated into new machines or retrofitted as an upgrade for existing machines.
The MTx can log measurements from your critical machine tools, and is capable of collecting
data from a wide range of sensors such as vibration, speed, temperature, humidity, eddy
probes and oil streak. The user and the machine control system are alerted if a value is de-
tected out with pre-defined boundaries. All events which exceed thresholds, or spindle
crashes, are logged with an accurate time stamp and sensor values, and are stored in a per-
manent flash memory.
The SKF Machine Tools Observer MTx can continuously log data over 10 years. High speed
relay outputs can stop the machine in milliseconds and the e-mail warning system can im-
mediately send a warning to the supervisor for a corrective action.
A multilevel access system provides a high level of recorded data security, and a server and
client software package for live data display, data distribution and administration is also in-
cluded with the system.
2.1. ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual deals with the SKF MTx hardware and software.
For simple cross reference we have divided the manual into chapters and sections.
MTx hardware,
and software
We assume that the reader has a basic knowledge of Windows computer programs.
We will not explain every possibility the software has. However, we will try to exactly explain
the principles. If the use of a display page is self-evident, we will only take a typical usage
as an example. We will explain more complex proceedings in detail.
2.1.1. Typographic instructions
• Paragraphs which are marked with this symbol describe the lists.
* Paragraphs which are marked with this symbol describe the functions which you have
to fulfil in order to solve a certain task.
CAPITALS show keys to press on the keyboard, like for example: Press ALT+F4.
'..............'
Expressions in inverted commas display operating steps on the display menu, like for exam-
ple: 'Save - file'.
Paragraphs marked in this way are there to make the reader aware of an important point
of the area just dealt with.

MTx HARDWARE
SKF Condition Monitoring Centre – Steyr 1 - 6 - 7
3. HARDWARE
SKF has developed a new stand-alone online condition monitoring device, which actively
monitors, records and observes the history and maximum events of machine tool spindles.
The system consists of a microcontroller based electronics with internal memory for data
storage with real time clock and supports a wide range of different types of sensors, where
a maximum of 14 of these sensor types can be connected at the same time.
• Vibration in three axis by triax accelerometer or standard industrial accelerometer
(maximum 3 channels)
• Spindle speed sensors (5 V, 24 V or 1 Vpp)
• 10 universal sensor inputs (voltage 0 to 24 V, current 4 to 20 mA or switching sensors 0
to 24 V)
The system has also two digital relay outputs for alarm or emergency stop on free program-
mable limits on two independent channel basis. The same programmable limits are also
used to report data and status to any configurable email addresses. A green LED on the
electronics shows voltage status and a red LED indicates recorded incident. The electronics
is preferable installed inside the electrical cabinet for machine tool, while the triax acceler-
ometer should be connected as close as possible to the spindle head by using a M5 screw,
magnet or special glue. The maximum supported cable length between MTx electronics and
accelerometer is 12 m.
