This device enables real-time monitoring of tool temperature and vibration during cutting.
Temperature measurement while applying coolant is also possible (inner-through supported).
It is also possible to measure the temperature of the tool tip during drilling,
which could not be measured with infrared thermography.
Vibration measurement is possible simply by holding the tool you want to measure,
and monitoring of the process information leading up to breakage is possible.
It also supports small-diameter tools where data detection is difficult.
Realizing the “visualization” of machining phenomena,
it supports the IoT transformation of cutting, optimal machining condition selection, and trouble analysis.

Case 1: Automatic Response After Tool Breakage Detection
Since MULTI INTELLIGENCEⓇ does not detect an increase in acceleration (not exceeding the set threshold) in the next machining step,
it links with the CNC to automatically retract the tool + interrupt the machining process.

Company A: Responsible for “Technology Development”
Contributes to improving the reliability and sales promotion of developed cutting fluids
While searching for an effective means to evaluate new cutting fluids,
we came across MULTI INTELLIGENCEⓇ from Yamamoto Metal Works Co., Ltd.
Verifying the degree of heat suppression effect the developed fluid has against the heat generated during machining is extremely important for accelerating development speed.
Conventionally, not only was measuring the temperature during machining difficult, but the evaluation methods in actual cutting also differed among manufacturers, and an effective evaluation method for cutting was not established.
By introducing MULTI INTELLIGENCEⓇ, it became possible to evaluate the effect of the developed cutting fluid using the critical parameter of heat.
Furthermore, as the evaluation is the same as actual cutting, it contributes to improving the reliability and sales promotion of the developed cutting fluid.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ
We have compiled frequently asked questions from everyone.
We welcome questions other than those listed below, so please feel free to contact us.
- What can it do? Are there any specific examples?
- Real-time monitoring of temperature and vibration during machining is possible.
It is effective for tool life determination, anomaly detection, and optimization of cutting conditions.
- What is the structure of MULTI INTELLIGENCE®?
- It is a rotating tool holder used in machining centers.
It has built-in temperature sensor, acceleration sensor, electronic circuit, and wireless transmitter.
- Who should I contact if it breaks down? Is there a charge?
- Please contact a Yamamoto Metal sales representative. If you have an annual maintenance contract, repairs will generally be performed free of charge.
However, please note that damage caused by modification by your company or use that is different from the intended purpose is not covered under warranty.
Thermocouple breakage is treated as a consumable item each time.
- How is the setup done? Is it easy?
- Except for the temperature and vibration monitoring function, it is a rotating tool holder used in machining centers, so please attach the tool according to the chuck type.
When monitoring temperature, a hole for inserting the temperature sensor is required on the tool side.
Since it is a dedicated sensor, please provide us with information about the tool you will be using and
the position where the sensor will be inserted.
Also, tools into which a temperature sensor can be inserted are basically solid-type tools, and
a core thickness of φ2.5 or more is recommended.
For tools that do not meet this requirement, please consult with us, and
we will consider its applicability.
- Can any collet be attached?
- We use ER standard collets.
The collet sizes are ER25, ER32, and ER40.
- Can we prepare the monitoring PC ourselves?
- Basically, the customer is asked to prepare it. We can provide one upon request.
- How long does the battery last on a single charge? And how much charging time is required?
- It depends on the sampling rate, but for the i-flash model, it is about 2 hours.
- How many MPa is possible for high-pressure coolant?
- Up to 7MPa is possible.
