Identify Potential Failures—Before They Happen—And Maximize Productivity

In today’s competitive market, companies simply can’t afford any disruptions due to unexpected equipment failure. This is especially true of mission critical assets like industrial robots, machine tool cells and other equipment with rotating components.

GTI’s Predictive Services leverages award-winning vibration analysis technology to predict when a spindle may fail or deviate from set tolerances. Knowing when a machine is going to need repair allows you to better plan maintenance around times of high production, optimizing your overall efficiency and profitability. 

Onsite Machine Tool Program – Let Us Do It

Let GTI perform periodic vibration routes and provide extensive reports and actionable recommendations to keep your machines running at maximum efficiency. Take control of your planning, scheduling and downtime.

Program Highlights:

  • Monitor machine tool and spindle health
  • Trained GTI experts do all the work for you
  • Identify spindle issues early to avoid downtime
  • Services include on-site balancing, alignment and other corrective measures
  • Complete reports and clear, actionable recommendations provided

What Tools Are Used?

Vibration analysis and thermography are the two most widely used tools in the market today for detecting early failures. GTI’s VibePro and ThermoPro apps are our flagship tools. Ultrasound and motor current are also in our tool set.

You Collect The Data - Our Experts Analyze It

Data collection is only half the battle. In order to fully understand what’s going on and what do to next, that data needs to be analyzed. With our data analysis services, we’ll provide the expertise needed to turn raw vibration and process data into actionable maintenance strategies. Service include:

  • Expert Review – your data is analyzed by our seasoned vibration analysts

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility – we’ll interpret your route-based and/or permanent monitoring data whether you use VibePro or other measurement tools

  • Root Cause Identification – we’ll look beyond simple alarms to identify what’s really going on —whether it’s bearing wear, cavitation, resonance, structural looseness, or something else

  • Prioritized Action Plan – we’ll provide a clear list of action items to let you know which spindles need immediate attention and which can wait until the next scheduled shutdown

Detecting spindle failure early and starting the repair process early will prevent unplanned downtime and, in some cases, save up to 50% of the spindle repair cost.
