3 Steps To Powerful And Affordable CNC Machine Monitoring
FourJaw is an accessible and affordable real-time machine monitoring platform that delivers value to manufacturers of all sizes.

1. Install MachineLink Hardware
Simply supply power to the FourJaw MachineLink IoT device, then attach the sensor to your machine’s power cable.
2. Connect to the Internet
Connect the MachineLink to your factory's WiFi network (or simply wait for it to connect if you requested preconfiguration.)
3. Securely see your data
Log in to the secure, cloud-based FourJaw Web App and data from your factory floor will start to pull into the platform within a few minutes.**
*Self-installation takes around 10-20 minutes – no specialist experience required. ** Please note that this can take much longer depending on the time from provisioning to installation.

No Large Capital Outlay, Easy To Install, Quick ROI

plug & play machine monitoring system
Upgrade to a smart factory with fully automated cloud-based machine monitoring - in minutes.
Unlike traditional CNC Monitoring systems, we don’t need expensive and time-consuming PLC integrations. Our gear simply clips on to any machine then uses advanced machine learning algorithms to determine if the machine is being productive or not.
This means FourJaw knows when your machine is truly productive (e.g. cutting metal) rather than when the spindle's just turning..

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is CNC machine monitoring?
-
CNC machine monitoring refers to software that tracks the performance and activity of CNC machines in real-time. By collecting and analysing data about the operation of CNC machines, the software is able to optimise production, identify machine downtime, react to breakdowns, and improve overall efficiency.
CNC machine monitoring helps manufacturers reduce production downtime, improve quality control, boost production speed, and better optimise production schedules. Plus, its insights will help manufacturers make informed data-driven decisions to improve operations.
