Trust is good. Measuring is better.
In machine tool technology, monitoring pull-in force as part of quality assurance is essential in order to guarantee consistently precise machining results. Reduced clamping force can have a long-term impact:
Poor surface quality due to vibrations
Increased tool wear and shorter tool life spans
Spindle taper corrosion caused by micro-movements
Tool breakage
Machine downtime
Risk of injury to the machine operator
