Introduction
Paul Gebauer is an accomplished inventor based in Warren, MI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of automated machine tools, particularly through his innovative patent that enhances machine monitoring systems.
Latest Patents
Paul Gebauer holds a patent for a "Machine monitoring system using motion detection for synchronization." This invention discloses apparatus and methods for monitoring the operation of an automated machine tool that features at least one linear slide axis. The system detects motion along various machine axes and generates output signals to synchronize real-time monitored parameters with previously stored data. This data varies depending on the operational stage of the part cycle in which the machine tool operates. The invention includes a memory that stores multiple sections, each containing limit values associated with normal characteristics of parameters such as power, vibration, and acoustical emission. A preselected detected change in motion along any of the slide axes initiates the generation of a new section of limit values for comparison. Additionally, the system inhibits comparison when the motion information indicates that the machine is not currently removing metal from the workpiece.
