Poor lubrication in machine tools can cause damage to components such as spindles and ball screws, leading to short-term stoppages or long-term stoppages in production lines. Dealing with sudden breakdowns (breakdown maintenance) imposes a heavy burden on the site, including the stoppage of production equipment, replacement of damaged parts and devices, and personnel adjustments for rapid recovery. To prevent such troubles, awareness of "predictive maintenance" on-site has been increasing year by year.

Predictive maintenance refers to "constantly monitoring the behavior of equipment and systems to understand their deterioration status and addressing issues before failures or other problems occur". It is important to perform regular and appropriate maintenance on equipment to keep it operating in the best condition.

At Azbil TA, we not only provide equipment but also offer predictive maintenance services that continuously inspect and diagnose the condition of delivered lubrication units to reliably detect the occurrence or signs of failures and deterioration, providing "safety and peace of mind."

1. Walkthrough

Our engineers will check the installation locations of the lubrication units used in the customer's factory
and list the types, quantities, and years of use.

【Benefits】

・Necessary for effectively utilizing the diagnosis service.
・Notify important information such as discontinued production and sales products.

2. Diagnosis Service

Our engineers will inspect the condition of the lubrication unit and submit the results as a diagnostic report.
The inspection is carried out while the machine is in operation.

【Benefits】

・Identify problem areas and plan effective maintenance (propose maintenance services).
・Visualize and share the current state of the lubrication unit, enabling the accumulation
 and effective use of maintenance data and know-how.
・Reduce the customer's work hours.

【Main Diagnosis Items】

・Confirmation of oil atomization
・Confirmation of oil drip presence
・Confirmation of oil drip frequency
・Confirmation of drip detection sensor
・Confirmation of pressure settings
・Visual inspection

3. Maintenance Service

Our engineers will perform operational checks after replacing lubrication units and parts.

【Benefits】

・Always keep the lubrication unit in optimal condition.
・Reduce the customer's work hours.
・Reduce the risk of short-term and long-term stoppages in production equipment, improving equipment operation rates.

【Main Diagnosis Items】

・Replacement of lubrication unit equipment
・Replacement of lubrication unit parts
・Operational check after replacement
・Operational check before the start of work the next day

4. Upgrade Support Service

Based on the list from the diagnosis service, we propose the optimal lubrication unit.
We also support with easy-to-understand materials on specification differences.

【Benefits】

・Enables the update of the optimal lubrication unit according to the customer's usage environment.

5. Spare Parts Support Service

Based on the customer's information, we select the necessary maintenance kits and spare parts.
We also support the replacement procedures.

【Benefits】

・In the event of sudden failures or deterioration failures of the lubrication unit, rapid recovery is possible using spare parts.
・Reduce time and cost losses due to incorrect selection.
