The relevance of predictive maintenance in today’s metalworking industry

The metallurgical industry faces challenges such as high competitiveness and the need to maximize operational efficiency. Implementing predictive maintenance strategies allows anticipating failures, optimizing equipment performance and reducing operating costs.

Recently we are seeing a growing interest towards continuous vibration data acquisition systems, the reasons are:

  • Data collection using portable equipment is usually performed every 2 to 3 weeks, during which time a fault could develop and go undetected.
  • Vibration data collection points in rolling mills are places where human presence is dangerous in operation, so it is recommended to install fixed vibration sensors for data collection.

In addition, once we have continuous vibration data readings, they can be used for purposes other than maintenance, such as quality control of the laminated product by evaluating the intensity of the “chatter effect”.

By having automated data acquisition systems, we eliminate the man-hours previously required for data collection.
