Optimizing Product Quality and Manufacturing Processes in Real Time with Vibration Analysis
Schaeffler Digital Solutions GmbH
Sebastian Held
When manufacturing gears, attention must be paid to the geometric accuracy of the teeth and to a particularly high surface quality to avoid high rework costs. An effective method is real-time monitoring of the manufacturing process based on vibration analysis. This presentation describes the challenges of real-time monitoring of product quality and production processes and presents a software tool as a proposed solution. In addition to the structure and functioning of the system, real savings opportunities from practice will be discussed, especially about gear production.
