DITTEL’s AE sensors are used in conjunction with DITTEL evaluation equipment to monitor grinding and dressing processes. This improves the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the grinding machine. The wide variety of these highly sensitive sensors and the range of designs mean that a DITTEL sensor will be ideal for almost any application. We differentiate between static AE sensors and rotating AE sensors.

• S sensors
• Mini-S sensors
• SF sensors
• Magnetic sensors
• Mini magnetic sensor
• Micro-S sensor

Application for example:

Stationary dressing tools:

• Single point diamond
• Blade type diamond

Appropriate sensor position:

• On the workpiece headstock
• On the tailstock
• On the machine´s headstock

Additional functions:

• Monitoring of dressing and grinding processes

Customer benefits:

• Easy to assemble
• High signal quality

DITTEL´s newly developed AE fluid sensor is the latest addition to the company´s range of AE sensors for grinding process optimization. The acoustic emission is transmitted in the opposite direction to the flow of liquid from the machine´s coolant system (either grinding oil or cooling emulsion). By electrically and acoustically isolating the AE fluid sensor from the machine tool, DITTEL has managed to suppress the machine´s background noise.

Brief desription:

Dressing and process monitoring while grinding rotating and static surfaces.

Signal transmission:

• From the workpiece
• From the tool
• From the workpiece headstock
• From the workpiece holder

Customer benefits:

• Easy to assemble
• Suitable for retrofitting
• Unsusceptible to the electromagnetic interference generated by the machine itself
• Connects all DITTEL AE evaluation systems without additional preamplifier
