Industry: Aerospace
Application: Large 5-Axis milling machine used in steel parts machining.
Problem: A collision event initiated an accelerating spindle bearing degradation, putting production and quality at risk of unexpected failure.
Proactive Spindle Bearing Replacement
Solution: IPercept’s continuous monitoring detected the defect and tracked the degradation over weeks. The customer used this insight to schedule a proactive spindle bearing renovation before failure occurred.
Impact: Prevented downtime and made component renovation (instead scraping) possible. Estimated financial impact: 70,000–90,000 EUR.
