Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to cloud-integrated condition monitoring solution for hydraulic oil in boring mill-style vertical lathe machines within the steel industry.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Through its advanced method of monitoring hydraulic oil conditions in Boring Mill-Style Vertical Lathe Machines, the ground-breaking Condition Monitoring Solution seeks to revolutionize the steel industry. The system continuously gathers current data on temperature, density, velocity, and oil levels by integrating sensors, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. This data is then analyzed by machine learning algorithms, which offer predicted insights and provide vital alerts in the case of irregularities. With the help of this creative solution, operators may monitor machine health remotely using an intuitive web dashboard, which speeds up decision-making and preventive maintenance.
One of the biggest challenges facing the steel industry is effectively monitoring and managing the hydraulic fluid conditions in Boring Mill-Style Vertical Lathe Machines. The industry's ability to respond proactively to problems with temperature, density, velocity, and oil levels is hindered by the absence of a robust condition monitoring solution. This constraint leads to increased unavailability, inefficiencies in operations, and the possibility of expensive equipment malfunctions. The real-time insights and critical predictive analytics needed for prompt decision-making and preventative maintenance are not sufficiently provided by conventional monitoring techniques.
US7062999B2: The object of the invention is to provide an inverted vertical lathe comprising a device for replacing collets automatically, and having a detector for detecting that the collet has been gripped correctly. A chuck mounted on a headstock grips a collet in a replaceable manner via a tapered bore provided to the end thereof. A collet end face eccentricity detector comprises a detecting member (sensor) fixed to the end of an arm. The detecting member detects the eccentricity of the end face of the collet in a contactless manner. A variation pattern of the eccentricity occurring when each collet is gripped correctly by the chuck on the main spindle is detected in advance, and this pattern is compared with the variation pattern of the eccentricity detected by the present detection, and thus, whether or not the collet has been gripped correctly is detected.
