KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 6 of 45 9 Product description The sensory tool holder SPIKE is a wireless force sensor used as a diagnosis tool or for tool monitoring. During machining (e.g. drilling or milling), it can measure the generated force and torque directly at the tool holder. The data can then be transmitted wirelessly to a REAS receiver. The SPIKE can be utilized to optimize cutting and milling processes. The included PC- software allows the user to measure and visualize axial forces, torsion and resulting bending. The resulting raw data is stored in plain text file format (ASCII) and can be easily exported and used for analysis afterwards. A distinctive feature of the software is the depiction of measurement values in a polar diagram. In this diagram the bending torque acting on the tool holder is shown as an angular function. Because of this, forces can be detected over the life of the tool or even the forces on different cutting fluids can be detected. An integrated temperature sensor detects temperature at the place of the sensory ring and therefor can show tendencies of the process temperature. For its mobile use, the SPIKE is powered via an integrated Li-Polymer rechargeable battery. For easy analysis and documentation of the measurement results, optional tool analyzer software is offered. Overview over the measured forces:
Torsion signal representing the torque Mz which correlates to the cutting force Fc multiplied with the radius of the tool holder Bending moment in x and y direction: Signals representing the bending moments Mx and My. These two components are vector aggregated to get the total bending moment, which correlates to the vector sum of the forces Fc and Fnc multiplied with the lever arm Axial force signal representing a combination of the axial force and the force Fnc pro-micron GmbH & Co.

User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 9 of 45 11 Startup 11.1 Charging the SPIKE Connect the supplied power cord to the charging station. To do this, use the included fitting USB cable. The socket on the charging station is located at the back. Now place the tool holder on the charging station. On the sensory ring there are two brass-
colored contact surfaces next to 2 center holes. Put the SPIKE on the charging station that the two holes next to the contact surfaces exactly engage with the pins on the charging station. If necessary, apply gentle pressure to seat it onto the pins. For orientation, the LED in the ring always looks forward. If the contact is established, the indicator will shine magenta (red/blue). If the holder is fully loaded so the LED shines only blue. If the indicator lights up green, there is no contact established between the SPIKE and the charging station. Charging time is approximately 4 hours. Overcharging the SPIKE is not possible due to technology in the circuitry. Please charge the sensory tool holder prior to any planned measurement. 11.2 Connect Read with PC First, the antenna must be attached to the socket provided on READ. Please make sure to screw the antenna. Use the USB cable and connect the Read. the antenna only on to avoid damaging the silver plug, 11.3 Activate SPIKE The tool holder can only be activated via the built-in accelerometer. In the machine, the tool holder is automatically activated from a speed of about 300rpm. Manually, the tool holder can be easily activated by spinning it in the hand. After activation measuring data is transmitted. The tool holder will turn off, if no acceleration is detected for one minute (speed of <300rpm). If several tool holders are operated on a receiver, the corresponding radio channel must first be set on the receiver. For this purpose, it has an automatic search function: If you press the button on the receiver (Attention: The tool holder must be active and the receiver must not receive anything), the receiver scans the active channel and adapts to it. ATTENTION: If another active tool holder is within range, it is possible that the radio link is established with the secondary holder. Now proceed with the software installation. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr.

Because of the sensory array, two possible issues may arise:
ATTENTION: Depending on the version of the tool holder, the use of an automatic tool changer may not be possible. Before a tool changer is used, it must be checked whether the geometric dimensions and the position of the ring are suitable for an automatic tool changer on the respective machines. CAUTION:The maximum allowable speed is limited by the structure and the maximum possible sampling rate. 12.2 Preparation Place the Read in front of the viewing window of the machine. There should be preferably a direct line of sight to the tool holder in order to ensure an optimal transmission of data. Connect your laptop with the Read. Ensure the antenna is attached prior to connection. Activate the holder (manually or in the machine) Check the LED lights on the Reader whether the SPIKE and the READ are connected. Yellow or green lights are shining. The SPIKE and Read are not set to the same radio channel if only a blue and red LED light shine. In this case, press the button next to the light-emitting diodes to enable the Read searches the active channel of the holder and connects (see 3.1.3). pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr.

The software displays the data as graphical and as numerical values. The user can also log data for using in Protocol mode or Visualization mode later. Graphical values Numerical values pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 18 of 45 Connect software with READ Before getting the software in use, READ must be connected with the PC and its driver must be installed. To install the READ driver, please see 4 Start up -> 4.5. Click the button Connect to READ to establish a connection with READ. The software will automatically search for a plugged in READ. Afterwards, it will show you a connection status. The following prompt will be shown when READ was found and the connection was successful:
The following prompt will be shown when READ could not be found or a failure occurred:
After a successful connection you will be guided to the Calibration mode (s. 5.1.3). Before you start a measurement, the calibration values should be loaded from SPIKE in the program. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 19 of 45 Start/Stop measurement To start measurements (after the software was successfully connected with READ) just click the button Start Measurement. If SPIKE is active (green LED flashing), you should see the measured data immediately graphically as well as numerically. Otherwise please check the SPIKE activation status. Furthermore, if you could not see any data, please check the connection status on the software. A red light signals no receiving data. Start measurement Stop measurement Connection status:
green: no failure with connection red: failure with connection check SPIKE check signal intensity The software shows only the last 15 sec. measured data. You should better log it to visualize later in Visualization mode. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 20 of 45 Log data Make a checkmark in front of the Log data box and set subsequently the log time to log the data. Afterwards when you start the measurement you will be prompted to give a name for data file and its location (s. following illustration). The measurement starts then. Before logging you should level the values via the tara button. Tick the box in order to log the data. The time format can be chosen by selecting log-time using the dropdown (minutes or seconds). The recording will finish automatically, as soon as the log time is reached. Select the log time to be as low as possible, in order to accelerate the data processing. The number of measured values can become very large, quickly during longer measurement periods. Thats why it is recommended to reduce the number of measurements being saved. So insert a tick in the box and select the number of measured values to be saved per second. The maximum value is 1600 and up to this induces no reduction. Info: The measurement rate without reduction amounts to about 1600 measurements per second, which sums up to equal about 6MB per minute. is Info: The reduction of measured values achieved by an averaging filter. At 160 measurements per second, only 10 measured values are identified, which reduces the data amount by 90%. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 21 of 45 Information from the SPIKE Information transmitted by SPIKE can be read on the status field in "Measuring mode"
window (s. below). Indicator definitions:
Signal quality of radio transmission Displays the transmission quality between READ and SPIKE. Try to keep the signal strength well (e.g. short distance between READ and SPIKE) to avoid data loss. green light: signal quality strong red light: signal quality poor Transmission-status diagnostic lamp:
green light: no transmission error red light: transmission error check SPIKE check signal quality battery charge status Indicates the charge status of the battery. SPIKE operates in the voltage range between 3.6V and 4.2V. This means 4.2V corresponds to a value of 100 %, and 3.6V to 0%. One bar corresponds to a value of 10%. Temperature display Displays the temperature in the measuring system. At a temperature above 50C (122 F), the display begins to flash red to warn against damage by excessive temperature. If the temperature continues to rise, SPIKE needs to be cooled. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 22 of 45 Other features in the measuring mode:
Polar Plot diagram Displays the bending moments in x and y direction in the rotating coordinate system. The diagram is useful for checking for example the quality of the tools cutting edges. The Polar Plot will only be shown during measurement. (You can analyze the Polar Plot in the Tool Analyzer Software) Number of points of measurement, displayed in the Polar Plot Choose an appropriate number of points of measurement, for example for cut recognition. A tool at high speed requires more points, in order to recognise all cutting edges. This reduces the rate of measuring. A smaller rotation speed requires less points of measurement.

With a right-mouse-click on the cursors name, the cursor can be brought into the middle of the graph. By selecting Export Image, the current graph will be placed in cache-memory. The graph can be copied into every file chosen (e.g. Word file), by using the windows command Paste. The graphs are displayed on a white background. By using the button drift compensation it is possible to compensate a drift (caused by temperature) in signal or a signals inadequate tara before the measuring starts. During the compensation calculation, the program acts on the assumption of a linear drift development. Function:
Using 2 markers associated to the axial force curve, the points illustrating the zero value can be defined manually before and after the processing (i.e. the points without influence of forces developed by the machining operation). For the radial axial force, torsion and bending moments, the program identifies the distance of the first point to the zero point and the theoretical drift gradient up to the second marked point. It then compensates these for these values to the signals. The newly calculated values will not be saved. Process:
After pressing the switch, two grey crosses of lines will appear (marker 1 and marker 2), that can be placed at the theoretical zero value with the mouse, before and after the machining. cursor has to be
(For moving, the symbol activated) Marker 1 has to be placed in front of Marker 2! The program averages in front of the line by using the adjusted number of measurement values from the filter. The program develops the compensation calculation from this value. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 27 of 45 Select calculating This software compensates not only the axial force, but also the torsion and bending moment with their respective drift gradients. The offset will be consolidated to zero. The diagram or the newly calculated values will not be saved. After pressing the update- key, the graph will be reestablished without the compensation. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 28 of 45 12.3.5 Calibration Your SPIKE has to be calibrated first, before the actual force working can be displayed properly. You will be advised to do so after restarting the software, as soon as the receiver has been connected. With the Calibration the user can (re)calibrate the SPIKE. For this it is possible to record calibrating factors directly into the destined fields, so that the calculated values equal the forces working on the holder. An easier solution is to read the values directly from the SPIKE. In order to transfer the deposited calibrating values into the software, press the load calibration values button, while the SPIKE is activated. The receiver will read the SPIKEs calibration values automatically and copy them into the appropriate fields. The following message appears afterwards giving user the processing status:
pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 29 of 45 If an error occurs:
The automatic bending moment offset comparison will only be updated after measurements initial start. the If the error occurs more than two or three times, you should check the connection between READ and SPIKE again. Doing this by checking the activation status of SPIKE. The LED on it should be flashing green. On READ you should see a blue LED flashing and the LEDs on the second line all green. If this isnt the case please push the reset button on READ to connect with SPIKE again. If you have more than one SPIKE on your hand you can also change. By clicking again on the button Load calibration value the software will check this automatically. The other SPIKE must be turned off when a new one is turned on. This message will prompt when you click on Load calibration value without changing SPIKE. This message will prompt if another SPIKE is registered. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 30 of 45 Automatic Tare:
In order to avoid the manual tare before each measurement, you have the option to activate
"Auto.Tara". In this case each time a measurement is started (when pressing the button "Start measurement) tara will be carried out automatically. This process takes about 3 seconds each. By default, Auto.Tara is disabled. Continuous run:
To prevent a shut down of the SPIKE (e.g. in processes with low rotation speed like threading), the mode " continuous mode can be activated. In this case SPIKE continuously transmits data and does shut down . ATTENTION: Before closing the BTKaBlue software the set of continuous mode must be deactivated again, as the SPIKE otherwise continues to discharge. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr.

Before starting the measurement, it is necessary to decide whether you want to operate the SPIKE in "continuous mode", for continuous operation, or whether the sensory tool holder should turn off automatically after each measurement. In our example the "continuous mode" is disabled. 2. Furthermore, it is necessary to determine whether SPIKE should automatically tare the system requires this operation, each new measurement at startup. For approximately 3 sec each. In our example Auto. Tara ist disabled. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 32 of 45 Before you can start a measurement, it is firstly necessary to tare the SPIKE on the current conditions (speed, coolant pressure...), so to zero the offset (Tara has a similar function as the kitchen scale). Then you have to wait for the lines axial force, torsion and bending moment to be balanced. If there is a temperature difference between the holder and cooling lubricant, it is advisable to let rotate the holder with coolant before the first measurement. This may take a few minutes to complete. Any remaining forming drift can be eliminated by the software. 2) 1) Now press the button "Tara" (1). Then press "Stop measurement" (2) pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 33 of 45 12.4.2 Measuring To start a measurement, first set a hook in the box "Log data(1). 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Just below this box is a window that limits the maximum measurement time. If longer measurements are made, the time can be adjusted. (ATTENTION! Pay attention to the file size. 1 min is about 6.7 MB!) May reduce the sampling rate in this case. If only short periods of time are recorded, the unit of time can also be converted to seconds. If the measured values should be reduced during the recording, put a hook next to "Reduce data "(4) and select the appropriate reduction (5). Now you can press the Start-button to begin the measurement. Then a window opens in which you are prompted to enter a file name. HINT: Enter a file name that is meaningful and helps the identification of the readings later. Do not use commas or periods for feature separation:
(e.g. test1_tool_n2000_f011_ap2a_e5) pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 34 of 45 By pressing the OK button, the measurement starts automatically. Stop the measurement with "Stop measurement" or automatically by setting a time limit. Then the data can be viewed over the entire measurement period in the window "data visualization". A comprehensive analysis of the data can be best provided with the Tool Analyzer software (optional). ATTENTION: Before closing the BTKaBlue Software the continouus mode has to be switched off. Otherwise SPIKE will be discharged further on pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 35 of 45 13 Maintenance ATTENTION: Oil the tool holder after use. ATTENTION: To prevent deep discharge of the batteries and thus damage, the SPIKE should be charged 1x per quarter. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr. User Manual SPIKE und BTKaBlue 13.5 ENG V1.0 11.05.2015 page 36 of 45 14 FAQs Question SPIKE does not glow violet after putting on the charging station. Why is the signal not stabilized even if I already pressed tara?
There is a torsion and a tension signal but no bending when measuring. What to do?
When starting measuring the tension/
torsion/ bending stays zero. In the measurement it happens that flat lines occur. Why?
The SPIKE isnt turning on even if it is spinning in the machine, why?
The signal strength of the SPIKE is bad. How make it better?
Answer The contacting between SPIKE and the charging station is not properly made. Put the SPIKE again on the charging station and make sure that the measuring ring is completely seated on the charging station. Check the correct fit of the individual connectors on the charger and the AC adapter. As long as the temperate or anything else is changing you will not get a level signal even if you press tara. This effect can be seen mainly in axial force direction. Further more the signal drift can be caused from the specific mechanic of the tool holder.
(e.g. through the expansion of the hydraulic oil of a hydraulic tool holder.) Particularly when starting measuring wait some moments till signal has been stabilized push again Tara button afterwards. Generally the drift of the signal can be compensated with the Tool analyser software when analyzing the results. Reload the calibration data. Make sure the calibration data is loaded properly. This can happen because the connection between the SPIKE and the receiver is bad. Change the position of the receiver and watch the strength of the signal!
How fast is the SPIKE spinning? It needs at least about 300 rpm. If so please activate the continuous mode The SPIKE will not switch off after measuring. Minimize the distance between SPIKE and Receiver. Try to have a direct link between SPIKE and Receiver with no objects in between. Try to turn out other devices which may affect the signal. pro-micron GmbH & Co. KG Dok.-Nr.
