Condition-Based Maintenance Optimization for Motorized Spindles Integrating Proportional Hazard Model with SPC Charts

الملخص EN

Reliability of motorized spindles has a great effect on the performance and productivity of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools for intelligent manufacturing.

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is an efficient method to prevent serious failures, to improve system reliability, and to reduce management costs for motorized spindles.

However, owing to various degradation features acquired during condition monitoring, the challenge is to propose an appropriate feature to evaluate the reliability level of motorized spindles and to set up optimal CBM policies.

Based on the motivation, a three-stage approach is proposed in this paper.

In the first stage, proportional hazard model (PHM) is developed to describe the reliability considering failure events together with multiple degradation features.

Next, statistical process control (SPC) charts are constructed for condition monitoring and anomaly detection in order to achieve early detection of potential failures.

At last, a CBM schedule is modeled in consideration of maintenance cost minimization; the maintenance plan is optimized by determining the optimal control limits of SPC charts.
