Development of Sensing Interface for Preventive Maintenance of Machine Tools

Abstract

Machine tools are usually used over a long period of more than 10 years, so providing appropriate services are significantly important. Machine tool manufacturers, who develop their businesses worldwide, locate their service bases and parts centers across the world to improve their service quality and provide prompt services to customers. Moreover, if necessary maintenance work is identified before machine tools break down, machine tool manufacturers can make plans to provide systematic services, and users can prevent machine stoppage. This paper describes the development of the sensing interface and the technology to analyze the operating status of machines to implement preventive maintenance.
