A Need for Data Capture

Noztek machines have always been at the forefront of user interaction, providing robust and reliable systems that are ready to use straight out of the box. Our expert engineers meticulously craft each part with special attention to detail, ensuring the best possible experience for our customers. We take pride in offering extrusion products that are favored by the world’s leading innovators, and we are dedicated to continuously improving and enhancing that experience.

Monitoring extrusion and tolerance is a crucial aspect of professional manufacturing, which is why we are constantly updating our software to provide deeper control and integration for our customers. By offering the latest software update for our powerful extruder and game-changing Tolerance Puller, we enable you to monitor extrusion and tolerance simultaneously from your computer. This commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction sets us apart in the industry and reinforces our position as a trusted provider of cutting-edge solutions.

 

How it Works

By connecting both your Xcalibur and Tolerance Puller to your laptop or desktop computer simultaneously, you will have access to an advanced user interface that allows you to monitor various parameters in one centralized location.

The interface is designed with 3 tabs: ‘Extruder’, ‘Tolerance Puller’, and ‘Graphs’, each serving a specific purpose to provide you with comprehensive data and control options.

The ‘Extruder’ tab focuses on monitoring the Xcalibur, displaying the temperature of the 3 HT heater bands, motor speeds of the main operating motor and fan, and enabling you to make adjustments to these settings as needed.

In the ‘Tolerance Puller’ tab, you can view data related to the filament’s target width, the last recorded width, and the mean widths of the three previous recordings. Additionally, you have the option to set the update speed for this data.

The ‘Graphs’ tab offers real-time results for the extruder temperature, filament width tolerance, and material passing speed, providing you with visual representations of these parameters for easy monitoring and analysis.

It is important to note that you have the flexibility to disconnect either machine at any time without causing any disruption to the other, ensuring seamless operation and convenience in managing your equipment.
