The DS6000 (Dittel System 6000) represents a completely new generation of process monitoring and balancing electronics equipment, which acts as an interface between the automation systems and the sensors and/or balancing components, incorporating parameter initialisation, signal processing and signal evaluation.

The DS6000 product family has a modular design, which can be added to and combined with each other. This innovative concept is highly flexible in terms of its ability to meet customer requirements, provides the user with an increased range of features and is very easy to operate.

Our systems can also be operated independently of automation systems using the RC6000 or PC6000 remote controls of DITTEL.

The intelligent use of visualisation provides the user with sufficient informations to make full use of the available manufacturing potential and, ultimately, to significantly reduce process costs.

The Dittel-System 6000 includes the electronic modules:

• M6000 - Electromechanical balancing control
• AE6000 - AE process control
• H6000 - Hydro-balancing control
• DM6000 - Process control

The Sensitron6 is a new type of AE evaluation electronics that can help to monitor and stabilize complex grinding processes. The high performance grinding process monitoring and control electronics are easy to integrate into the machine controls where they evaluate the signals detected by the highly sensitive AE sensors. The Sensitron6 reliably detects the initial contact between the grinding tool and workpiece, detects spark-up and automatically changes the feed rates in order to reduce air grinding time without loss of quality. An integrated crash monitoring function within the working space is a useful security measure that can minimize the costs arising due to collisions. One can select the sensors and operate the evaluation electronics either manually via push buttons or fully automatically via the machine controls. The AE signal is displayed on a LED bar graph (with 30 graduations).

Basic functions:

• Static interface (digital I/O´s) to machine controls
• Evaluation of the filtered AE signal
• Crash function
• Up to 2 AE sensors can be connected

Customer benefits:

• Optimization of grinding and dressing process, improving workpiece quality and making the grinding machine more cost efficient

The 5000 series is ideal for automatically balancing machine spindles and/or for visualising and monitoring grinding processes on grinding machines where the machine controls are not equipped with their own monitor. The 5000 series can handle various configurations in one device, regardless of whether it is balancing 2 spindles and monitoring the acoustic emissions or performing operational balancing/automatic balancing on one spindle - these electronics manage to meet most of our customers’ requirements. The entire 5000 series is menu-controlled (in 5 languages) via the displays on an illuminated, monochrome LCD monitor.

The M5000B remote control can be connected to the system for specific operating concepts.

The 4000 series is ideal for visualising and monitoring grinding processes on grinding machines where the machine controls are not equipped with their own monitor. The use of acoustic emission systems enables the user to optimize the grinding and dressing process, to reduce air grinding and to monitor for collisions between grinding wheel and workpiece. The entire 4000 series is menu-controlled (in 5 languages) via the displays on an illuminated, monochrome LCD monitor.
