Why Choose MArlIn Wireless Sensor Module ?

Modular Design for Maximum Flexibility: MArlIn's unique wireless sensing modules utilize a standardized interface for quick installation and removal onto various machine tool handles (e.g., BT/CAT40, BT/CAT50, HSK63). This modular design allows sensor replacement and maintenance to be completed within 5 minutes, significantly reducing downtime and labor costs. MArlIn's solution also supports flexible sensor configurations (vibration, temperature, axial force) for precise monitoring based on specific machining requirements.

Wireless Power and Rugged Durability: MArlIn's innovative wireless power module eliminates the common damage and leakage problems of traditional wired sensors in harsh cutting environments (e.g., high-pressure coolant splashing, metal chip splashing). MArlIn's shank sensor design meets IP68 protection standards, ensuring stable operation in water, oil, and dust environments. With its low-power and high-performance battery, it provides up to 16 hours of continuous monitoring on a single charge, significantly improving device reliability and battery life.

Intelligent Connectivity Enables Quality Improvement: MArlIn's unique CNC system linkage technology integrates real-time sensor data and machining parameters into a closed-loop system. The system can automatically fine-tune the CNC machine tool's feed rate and spindle speed based on tool vibration, abnormal temperature, or load changes. For example, when excessive vibration is detected, MArlIn's system can automatically reduce the spindle speed to prevent tool breakage and ensure workpiece surface accuracy. The system seamlessly supports mainstream CNC control systems such as FANUC, Siemens, and Mitsubishi, providing plug-and-play functionality without complex modifications.

Data-Driven Acceleration of Smart Transformation: As a core foundation of smart manufacturing, MArlIn's wireless sensing handle provides a concrete and effective entry point for enterprise digital transformation. The cutting data accumulated over time by MArlIn's handle (e.g., vibration spectrum, cutting force curve) provides valuable assets for AI model training, continuously optimizing machining processes and improving equipment utilization. Furthermore, MArlIn offers an open API interface, enabling seamless integration with existing MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, helping customers quickly realize data value and establish a new paradigm for smart production.

Solutions for SemiCon and Robotic Automation

Semicon: OHT/FOUP: MArlIn's unique wireless sensing modules utilize a standardized interface for quick installation and removal. FOUP wafer containment devices and OHT transport systems. Vibration from OHT during FOUP transport excites particles inside, causing wafer defects and yield loss in semiconductor fabs. We monitor (e.g., measurement FOUPs with sensors) and control (e.g., active suppression, disturbance rejection) to reduce vibration and improve yields saving on loss and increasing profitability.
Robotic Automation systems: Robot motors/gearboxes- Generate vibration from rotation, imbalances, misalignment, backlash, or joint flexibility—often causing end-effector shake or precision loss. Conveyors also Produce vibration via rollers, belts, misalignment, or unbalanced loads—transmitting to structures or nearby equipment.
Force Sensors:
Preventing Measurement Drift
. Over time, especially with continuous use, the sensor's output can drift, meaning the zero-force reading is no longer accurate.
Correcting for Environmental Factors. Temperature changes can cause inaccuracies (span and zero shifts). While many sensors are compensated, significant temperature fluctuations often require adjustments.
Avoiding Overload Damage. Monitoring is crucial to ensure the sensor does not exceed its rated capacity, which can cause permanent damage or failure.
Ensuring Linearity and Hysteresis.
Calibration ensures that the output signal accurately represents the applied force across the entire operating range.
