ABSTRACT

High-precision machine tools are important equipment of production line in general [1]. However, it is too difficult to do failure prediction and maintenance of the spindle bearings. Equipment utilization will be decreased if the damaged bearing is not replaced in time. This paper designed a set of bearing failure prediction system based on LabVIEW programming environment, according to the requirement for the maintenance of spindle bearing on production line. The system will predict the bearing failure through the analysis of the size precision of the parts. The system mainly consists of two parts, data acquisition system and data analysis system. It achieves the following functions: data analysis and calculation, data display and storage, system failure alarms, etc.
