Most spindles need audits periodically, because machining processes generate component wear over long term use, particularly on the bearings, resulting in reductions of spindle functionality.
Most maintenance is carried out in accordance with a scheduled periodic maintenance, based on spindle service life, and the average workloads to which spindles are subjected.
However, in many cases, spindle loads cannot be precisely estimated, and this approach to maintenance might be inefficient (maintenance is carried out too frequently for the amount of wear produced), or ineffective (the actual load produced by the spindle is higher, resulting in unscheduled wear).
Sequoia IT offers other solutions for this advanced monitoring, such as the SeTAC MT e l’e-Sensor System, e Toolinspec Line.
