CNC machine condition monitoring from motion — not vibration, not controller data.

One device on the machine's own kinematic chain. Component-level condition of bearings, ballscrews, guides and spindles within days — any brand, any model, any age. No controller integration, no IT project. The Motion Pattern Method, patented in 24 countries.

Monitor, diagnose, act.

Before IPercept, it took 1–2 days of expert manual work to fully understand why a CNC machine fails.

‍

Other condition monitoring systems bolt a sensor to a stationary housing and read vibration at a single point. This approach suits simple machines like fans or pumps. But CNC machines are complex and would require dozens of vibration sensors.

‍

IPercept mounts one device on the machine's kinematic chain — the moving side — and reads component condition from how the machine moves. The method is patented in 24 countries and relies only on ultra-high precision motion measurement, with no position signals and no controller access. What you get back is the absolute condition per component, not a deviation score or a preset threshold.

‍

The same measurement serves every stage of the machine's life. At acquisition, it tells you the real mechanical condition of a used machine before you sign. In production, it tells you which component is degrading and how fast, and how the machine is being used or misused. At end of life, it tells you what is worth rebuilding and what is not.

One data source unlocks a wide range of uses

Replace a two-day manual inspection with a five-minute test cycle — and know what is happening inside the machine.

Know how much each machine is actually utilized.

See every collision and process abnormality, the day it happens.

Optimize the process with the right parameters. Avoid sensitive spindle speeds.

Everyone gets the version they need. Where they need.

How this compares

Controller-native platforms (FANUC MT-LINKi, Okuma Connect Plan, DMG MORI Celos) read what the controller already reports. Capable, but they need controller access, they are tied to supported brands and controller generations, and they can only show what the controller exposes.
‍

Housing-mounted vibration sensors read one point on a stationary part. Well suited to rotating equipment, weaker on multi-axis kinematics.
‍

IPercept measures the motion of the machine itself. Any brand, any controller, any age — and condition per component rather than a vibration level.
