Success Case: Preventing Critical Failure in a Paper Machine Guide Roll

Since January 14th, we increased the frequency of measurements on a guide roll bearing in a paper machine due to rising acceleration levels. We did not have online monitoring, so our condition-based approach was crucial in detecting early signs of failure. The roll was in a challenging location, hidden behind the frame, making maintenance complex. Replacing the roll also meant changing the wire, which was not yet at the end of its campaign.
