The system then adjusts the spindle lifetime accordingly.

Predic-tions of remaining spindle life help users schedule maintenance peri-ods for times when they are least disruptive.Suppose you are close to your Christmas shutdown, and your spin-dle (has reached) 80% of its life, DAlessandro said. With that infor-mation, you might decide to rebuild the spindle over the Christmas shut-down. Youll lose the 20% of residual spindle life but with the benefit of not having to stop the machine to rebuild 20JULY 2019 MachineTech.indd 20 6/14/19 9:26 AM'
