TRACKING ANALYSIS AND PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN DYNAMICS OF MACHINE TOOL SPINDLE Zapciu M, K’Nevez J-Y, Gérard A. Key words: maintenance, condition monitoring, tracking method, dynamic Abstract: Predictive maintenance is directed towards recognizing the earliest significant changes in machinery condition. Contrasted with protective condition monitoring in which fast response is the primary requirement, predictive monitoring is not limited by time and may use a greather range of complex characteristics. Vibration analysis has long been used for the detection and identification of machine tool condition. Main focus is to identify a procedure to obtain eigenvalue frequencies for machine tool spindle using tracking analysis. 1. Introduction Predictive maintenance could be accomplished on-line from installed sensors (e.g. vibration and bearing temperatures), periodically with a handled data collector or a combination of the two (fig.1). Fig.1 Types of predictive maintenance Comparing and trending overall vibration amplitudes, recorded at periodic intervals on selected equipment (for example data collector 2526 from Brüel Kjaer company) is an example of a basic predictive monitoring program. Predictive monitoring programs have three main objectives: 1 – Earlier warning of the potential defects on equipment equipped with continuous monitoring systems; 2 – Monitoring the dynamic condition of general purpose machinery 3 – Primary warning of defects that may remain hidden within complex characteristic, for example rolling-element bearing flaws. Most organizations evolve into a cost-effective program of predictive monitoring that includes a mixture of measurements from permanently installed transducers as well as measurements collected periodically with portable instruments. 2. Typical Predictive Maintenance Most of effective predictive-monitoring programs will incorporate a wide variety of parameters to accurately characterize condition and provide earl
