About diagnostics of technical condition of metal-cutting machines

Abstract

At present, scheduled maintenance prevails at production enterprises without taking into account its actual technical condition. This approach leads either to overspending of maintenance costs in the case of rare use of equipment, or Vice versa, if maintenance is delayed, there is a risk of an emergency failure. Losses from the sudden failure of critical elements of machine equipment are costly for both the company’s budget and its image. Therefore, the main task of technical services is to control and ensure a given level of reliability of metal-cutting machines by detecting faults at the early stages of occurrence, tracking the dynamics of the development of faults, determining and planning rational terms of repairs. This article discusses the most effective operational methods for diagnosing the technical condition of metal-cutting machine components.
