MERLIN AX760-MTC
A quick and easy way to take the first step towards data-driven manufacturing
The MERLIN AX760-MTC is a fully configurable MTConnect hardware adapter that enables your machine tool to communicate critical operational information using the MTConnect standard protocol. Part of the MEMEX smart manufacturing tool-kit, this adapter allows you to easily “MTConnect” every machine tool on your shop floor to output machine state data, alarm conditions and controller modes and more, in real-time.
