MT-LINKi

The easy way to monitor your production

MT-LINKi is a PC software that connects machines, robots and peripheral devices in the factory. Data can be collected and visualised to provide more information about manufacturing process and historical data. Not only machines equipped with FANUC CNC or FANUC robots can be connected, but also machines or robots from other manufacturers as well as PLCs or sensors. MT-LINKi software is one of the first steps to utilise IoT functions of manufacturing machines and devices. Based on data collected and presented in MT-LINKi customers can improve their productivity and processes.

Main functionalities of MT-LINKi

Overlook

enables you to recognise abnormal states of your machines quickly
detailed information available by just clicking on a machine
reduce down time by starting countermeasures immediately

Signal Monitoring and History

enables you to monitor live signals such as feed rates, spindle/servo load, temperature, overrides, and more
shows you the signal history of various machine signals and enables you to check the condition of batteries, fans and motors’ leakage
data can be output to CSV file

Alarm Monitoring and History

enables you to monitor alarm information occurring on your machines live
helps you to quickly identify the cause of alarms
shows you information on alarms that occurred in the past to identify causes
data can be output to CSV file

Power Monitoring

power consumption monitoring indicates the potential for power savings
read power consumption of FANUC motors without additional hardware
monitor power consumption of peripheral machine components (calculated)
display of CO2 emission based on adjustable emission factor

Operational Results

provides you with graphs displaying the machines’ operational states such as OPERATE, ALARM or STOP
data can be output to CSV file
helps you to check machine utilization and detect unused production capacity

Production Results

shows you the production results and production plans of your machines
data can be output to CSV file
allows you to easily identify deviations from the production plans

Program History

shows you information on programs that ran in the past
checks the cycle time of your programs
data can be output to CSV file
helps you to check machine utilisation and machine productivity

Macro Value History

shows you stored values of given macro variables from the past
data can be output to CSV file
can be used to collect and store various kinds of data, e.g. measurement data of tools and workpieces

Report Output

enables you to schedule automatically generated daily, weekly and monthly reports in Excel file format
report templates can be customised
allows you to save time with automatic reports

Add-ons (Option)

tool life monitoring
additional WEB UI for editing production planning
read diagnosis data - useful signals for machine condition monitoring

ROBODRILL Functions (Option)

enables you to collect signals from ROBODRILL machines
real-time chart available:
- tool life monitoring
- periodic maintenance
simultaneous file transmission function available

File Transfer

download/upload NC data (NC programs, parameter files etc.) between machines with CNC or robots and MT-LINKi Server PC
manage your NC programs efficiently
enables you to create backups easily and store the backup data in a central place
manages your archived files and shows differences between archived backup versions

Connectivity

All information collected by MT-LINKi can easily be gathered by other software solutions through the Web API. In addition users can be notified automatically by the E-Mail notification function for example in case of an alarm on one of the connected machines.
