Defective bearings, especially in the main spindle, are a common cause of machine downtime. The Component Monitoring option for the TNC7 from HEIDENHAIN can monitor bearing loads and wear levels based on internal control signals. You can also define warning and error thresholds, as well as the actions to be taken if they are exceeded. The TNC7 tells you when a machining operation is exerting high strain on the bearing, thus helping you avoid even greater damage.
