Increase Profits with the IDEA-4S Industrial Spindle Monitoring System
SPINDLE MONITORING IDEA-4S
Harness The Power of Data to Get The Most Out of Your Industrial Spindles
IDEA-4S (Integrated Data Evaluation and Acquisition for Spindles) uses compact and easily integrated sensor links and simple-to-use software, turning every industrial spindle and motor into a reservoir of data. Machine shop and CNC operations managers now have the most up-to-date data on their industrial spindles, including usage history and tracking. IDEA-4S links to your internal network and into modern IIOT structures.
With this data in hand, you can maximize spindle usage, increase spindle life, and provide pertinent data when you send your spindle into GMN USA for servicing or repair.
With IDEA-4S, your spindle operations are more efficient, which increases profits.
IDEA-4S Now Works with Industrial Spindles of All Makes
The IDEA-4S was originally developed for GMN USA spindles; however, recently our engineers have expanded the application to function on all spindles and motors, regardless of the manufacturer.
Captures an Entire Spindle History
The digitized information is available for immediate review on your shop floor. The information captured includes:
- Vibration issues
- Storage temperature
- Coolant temperature
- Speed history
- Tool clamping condition
- Axial displacement
IDEA-4S also creates a fingerprint of the spindle, including a history of how the spindle has been used and the type plate. Examples include:
- Current status (in use, current application, or location in inventory)
- Usage history
- Usage statistics
- Histogram information
Measure and Analyze Data on an IO-Link Interface
The IDEA-4S uses an IO-link electronic interface that transmits sensor values as process data and additional acyclic information such as diagnostic data or configuration parameters. Monitored areas include include:
- 5 analog inputs for PT 100 temperature sensors
- 3 digital inputs for position sensors
- 1 analog input for a NAMUR speed sensor
- 1 internal 3-axis vibration sensor
Each sensor provides statistical values, including minimum and maximum values, alarm and fault status.

Designed for Easy Integration into Modern IIOT Structures
IO-link systems operate independently of field bus systems, enabling its application for all controls. Modern IO-link masters allow seamless connections to IIoT infrastructures without straining the controller’s performance. This IO-link configuration also facilitates simple point-to-point communication.
