Abstract
Intelligent sensors, that can monitor the condition of critical machine components, are an essential ”enabling technology” for availability-oriented Product-Service-Systems (PPS). Furthermore, intelligent sensors can provide information that can be offered as a service. Pay-per-Use business models are now appearing in the machine tool, printing machine and packaging machine industries, which rely on accurate information about machine condition, in order to guarantee an agreed level of machine availability [1,2]. Many different approaches are applied to gather information about the condition of machine elements, such as gears, rolling bearings or ballscrews. Magnetoresistive (MR) sensors in combination with newly developed algorithms open up interesting new opportunities for more cost-effective and accurate condition monitoring.
