The present article focuses on the use of neural networks to predict the behaviour of certain diagnostic parameters of spindles of machine tools. An online vibro-diagnostics is used, and from many specific measured parameters, the effective value of some variables in the time series. The results are used in the maintenance based on the technical condition, in particular, in preventive and proactive maintenance. This procedure is completely original and allows for better setting of maintenance policy, which is also beneficial for planning maintenance costs. The article also mentions the necessity to implement the steps described, also in the context of the Industry 4.0 initiative, and further, it briefly discussesprognostics, technical diagnostics, maintenance and maintenance systems. The used neural networks and the calculation procedure are also analysed. The conclusions obtained are evaluated.
