Electra Axis Drop Preventer

Sathya Sai Systems, a company on the cutting edge of innovations in electronics, has developed Electra Axis Drop Preventer. One major deterrent that CNC machines face is the constant threat of axis drop that impacts both productivity and quality in a big way. Axis drop happens because of power failure and fluctuations, which is the bane of most machine tool industries. And the impact on CNC machines can be quite critical. Axis drop to the tune of 50 microns to 5000 microns (.05 mm to 5 mm) is a distinct possibility during a power failure (fluctuations), which necessitates a tool rejection of the part being machined and sometimes damage to the "tool". It doesn't take too much of an imagination to understand what the total loss in productivity that would entitle in the long run. In answer to this real need, we have developed a cost effective solution that virtually ensures better quality and productivity. Electra is an innovative axis drop preventer that virtually provides a cost effective solution to this major problem in all types of CNC machines. Once the Electra is installed in the CNC machine, the user is assured of no loss in quality or productivity as Electra effectively monitors the input voltage and ensures that the drop is no more than 10 microns during power failure (fluctuations). Electra is the result of highly involved research and has been tried and tested to deliver results. Electra can be designed to suit specific requirements irrespective of the CNC system. The company sees itself as a solution provider in the area of industrial electronics and seeks to develop several value added support systems for CNC machines in the near future. Electra is easy to install and no maintenance is required. The company backs up each sale with a strong service commitment to ensure minimal machine downtime. Electra does not alter the machine parameters or the logic. It is just an independent safety device in series with the brake. Electra will work even on manual emergency with accuracy less than 10 microns.
