Abstract:
1. A machine tool monitoring device, comprising at least one signal unit for an ultra-wide band operation, the signal unit including: an ultra wide band radar sensor; and at least one further sensor, wherein the at least one further sensor is one of: a capacitive sensor; an inductive sensor; a mechanic sensor; and an optical sensor, wherein the ultra wide band radar sensor and the at least one further sensor are arranged in a machine tool basic assembly position on both a first and second side of a machine tool work surface for placing a work piece; and wherein the ultra wide band radar sensor and the at least one further sensor comprise a sensor system that is configured for detecting a first signal part that is transmitted through a work piece for processing and a second signal part that is reflected from the work piece for processing; a regulating unit configured to: wherein the ultra wide band radar sensor is used to detect the plurality of work parameters simultaneously, the detected work parameters including at least one of a position of a work piece and a position of a tool portion of the machine tool, and wherein the ultra wide band radar sensor is used to detect at least one of: human and animal tissue in a predetermined danger zone via the at least one ultra wide band radar sensor.
