What this floor loses today
The losses every test bed operators and gearbox manufacturers knows — and nobody measures.
PAPER
Test evidence on paper
Runs, ramps, hold points and results scattered across sheets. Test bed digitization makes every run a timestamped, searchable, exportable record.
THROUGHPUT
Benches that wait
Test beds idle between runs longer than they test. Utilisation truth per bench exposes the real bottleneck in your dispatch chain.
JUDGEMENT
Pass/fail by ear
Experienced ears retire. Vibration and FFT signatures per test article make pass/fail objective, repeatable and defensible to customers.
Purpose-built, not repackaged
OEE · CBM · Predictive Maintenance — dedicated to gearbox & test beds.
The same MachineWise platform, tuned to the machines, cycles and failure modes of this industry.

Gearbox testing, digitised
The same five-stage flow, applied to a gearbox rig.
A gearbox test bed is a specific case of the general pattern set out on the test bed digitization page. What is particular to gearboxes is which channels matter and what they are read for.
SPEED AND TORQUE
Input and output, both ends
Measured at both shafts, which gives ratio verification and transmission efficiency directly rather than by assumption.
VIBRATION
Stage-wise, with gear mesh in mind
Mesh frequencies and their sidebands per stage. A sideband pattern around mesh is the characteristic early indicator of a tooth or eccentricity problem.
TEMPERATURE
Oil and each bearing position
Steady-state values and, more usefully, the time taken to reach them. A unit stabilising higher or later than its model's norm is telling you something.
BACKLASH AND NOISE
Where they are acceptance criteria
Measured and recorded against the serial number rather than assessed by feel and left unrecorded.
What the certificate carries
Every run is bound to the work order and serial number, so the document issued with a gearbox states what that specific unit did: profile adherence, vibration per stage against your limits, oil and bearing temperatures at load, power drawn, and the result with the witness recorded.
The population view is the part most manufacturers find unexpectedly valuable. Once a few hundred units of a model have been tested identically, a unit that behaves unlike its predecessors is visible immediately — which catches a supplier's bearing batch or a fixture drifting long before field failures make the point for you.
For engine rigs the equivalent page is engine test bed monitoring; the platform view across all article types is test bed digitization.
