Relation of process and condition monitoring at deep hole drilling

Process monitoring and condition monitoring are closely related. The basic structure of the tasks is the same. In some cases the may even use the same set of raw data. Monitoring of a process is also influenced by the machine's state. Therefore, the state has to be monitored also. In most cases wear causes a divergence of the intended from the actual state. The paper presents the principles of monitoring the condition of a main spindle as well as monitoring the process of deep hole drilling.
