Monitoring & metering
Dr. Tasdelen, you know machining from two perspectives: from the manufacturer’s point of view and from the point of view of the supplier of measurement technology. Can you tell us about current challenges in the industry?
Like in most industries, companies must focus on their
competitiveness now more than ever. Coming from the bearing industry, I know that the need to ensure the high quality of parts has been increasing. Automation is an important tool to achieve this and to become more efficient at the same time. At Kistler, we also see that our customers – across industries – feel more and more pressure to manufacture sustainably. One important lever to do this is to reduce scrap to the absolute minimum. In machining, the tool plays a significant role in the quality of the parts. Changing it too late will lead to a higher scrap rate. Changing it too early, however, results in unnecessarily costs. The human employee only has limited insight into the state of the tool, so production monitoring is a necessity in today’s manufacturing.
How do you see Kistler and yourself positioned in the field of process monitoring for machining processes?
Elaborate yet robust sensors are the basis for automated processes. As manufacturer of piezoelectric dynamometers, Kistler has a wide experience in machining research and development. We also have a lot of experience with machine monitoring in other applications such as injection molding and joining systems. It feels only natural to combine these areas and have our customers benefit from the synergies. What I brought to Kistler, coming from SKF, is the experience of moving from the research and development stage to the industrial application and a wide and in-depth application knowledge, combining process and machine behavior competence.

HOW TO MEET THE CHALLENGES FOR MORE PRECISE AND EFFICIENT MACHINING MONITORING
Dr. Buelent Tasdelen learned about the advantages of piezoelectric sensors while working for SKF AB (Global Bearing Manufacturer). Since 2020, he has been business development manager for Kistler, the leading expert for piezoelectric measurement technology. The company specialises in dynamometers and equipment for capturing cutting forces in research and development applications. Dr. Tasdelen used his experience to develop new products that bring piezoelectric measurements into machining monitoring as well – a package consisting of a sensor, cable and a special process-monitoring system for automated manufacturing. In this interview, Dr. Tasdelen speaks about the new solution and the advantages and limitations of piezoelectric measurements.
