Industrial attachments are subject to increasing requirements in terms of their reliability and availability. Both unexpected machine failures and unnecessary maintenance work reduce machine utilization. Appropriate condition monitoring allows both condition-based maintenance to be carried out and unexpected machine failures to be avoided.
The Department, Institute of Drive Technology is therefore working on condition monitoring based on vibration measurements. This is based on measuring and evaluating the vibrations of a system. Adequate measures can be derived from this to ensure trouble-free operation.
Modern Metrology and test benches, such as a bearing test bench or a shaker test bench, are available to optimize monitoring. On the software side, artificial intelligence methods are increasingly being used. These enable particularly efficient and effective condition monitoring.
A large number of projects have already been completed in the past. These involved the condition monitoring of:
- Wire race bearings
- Transient rolling bearings
- Electromechanical drive units
- Rotary feedthroughs
