TMAC: Tool Monitoring Adaptive Control

Spindle Maintenance

Spindle horsepower data can be used to track spindle life and predict spindle failure. The TMAC system’s new spindle maintenance feature simplifies the task of collecting this data. Maintenance technicians can send a command to TMAC to record horsepower at a given RPM. This will generate a record in the spindle maintenance log on the TMAC PC that is monitoring the idle horsepower. By comparing these values over time, the condition of the spindle can be assessed.
