Abstract: Machine tool condition monitoring (TCM) is critical in enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring optimal performance, and reducing downtime in manufacturing environments. As industries shift toward precision, automation, and cost-efficiency, the need for advanced systems to monitor the health of machine tools is paramount. This paper explores the influence of machine tool condition monitoring on operational efficiency, focusing on reducing unplanned downtime, improving product quality, and extending the life cycle of equipment. It evaluates various monitoring techniques, including vibration analysis, acoustic emission monitoring, and temperature monitoring, and their impact on the operational performance of machine tools. A case study approach is used to assess the benefits and challenges of implementing these systems in manufacturing settings. The findings highlight the potential for TCM systems to increase productivity, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance the overall efficiency of industrial operations.
