Machine maintenance tasks are a pain. They take away from production time and can be labor-intensive and messy. Put them off too long, however, and the results are degraded processes and unplanned downtime at the worst possible times.

Tool-clamping systems on machining centers, for example, need to be serviced after about 75 hours of operation or 20,000 tool changes. That usually means shutting down the machine for several minutes to manually lubricate the clamps. The amount of lubrication that is needed depends on how long you’ve neglected maintenance.
