Spindles are the integral part of any rotating machine. Any deterioration of spindle performance will lead to the manufacturing of faulty products. Maintenance can prevent rapid deterioration of spindles but unnecessary and untimely maintenance leads to increase in cost and machine downtime leading to losses. This paper focuses on Condition Based Monitoring of spindle units. CBM includes techniques such as vibration and temperature monitoring. This allows us to predict the failure of spindles and take preventive actions. This also prevents any catastrophic failures.

Keywords: Condition Based Monitoring, Preventive Maintenance
