eP-Performance

Standardized test procedures help machine operators as well as the maintenance and service technicians of the machine manufacturer to quickly determine the machine status and to relate it to predetermined values.
Continuous evaluation of the machine tool status ensures that trends can be detected at an early stage to perform or schedule actions.
Additionally, individual machine components can be monitored at cyclic intervals.

eP Performance ensures:
Reduced maintenance costs and less unscheduled downtimes:
• Preventive maintenance and
  optimized spare-parts provision
  by means of standardized test procedures and continuous evaluation of the machine status.
• Optimized inspection and maintenance
  by analyzing test result trends.

Test procedures and machine-specific test results are made available to users on ePS servers. Test results can be continuously assessed by means of trend analyses throughout the machine life cycle. This allows preventive and targeted scheduling of maintenance actions and optimization of inspection and maintenance tasks. Critical statuses can be diagnosed early to provide sufficient time for scheduled actions and minimize unscheduled machine downtimes. Depending on the individual purpose of use, the maintenance or manufacturing service detects which spare parts have to be available on site at a certain time. Optimum spare parts scheduling is an important factor for the reduction of maintenance costs.

eP Performance provides the following functions :
• Circularity test, synchronization test, universal axis test
• Scheduling and monitoring of cyclic test execution
• Cyclic monitoring of the operational performance of feed axes and spindles
