Vibration Condition Monitoring of CNC Machine

A CNC machine is a costly but necessary investment for machining workshops.

Newer CNC machines come condition monitoring software. For older machines some can still be retrofitted with condition monitoring sensors and software.

Vibration Condition Monitoring of CNC Machine

If you are getting the CNC machine authorized vendor to do the retrofitting you can expect to fork out a hefty sum. I heard from a source that it can cost as much as $500K to retrofit a CNC machine for this.

A CNC machine that suddenly breaks down disrupts the production schedule, causing delay in delivery not to mention waste of material.

So what can a CNC machine owner do if he does not have the financial means to implement the condition monitoring sensors and software?

We are offering an affordable solution for asset owners who would like to implement a condition monitoring program for their CNC machine.

Our solution includes the use of AI to train the software model for better fault detection. Contact us at sales@vibration.company for a discussion.

Affordable Online System for Motor Condition Monitoring Using Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA)

A motor condition monitoring system from a leading brand for Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) typically costs an arm and a leg. On top of that it is difficult to maintain, requiring a user to sign a costly maintenance contract or pay top dollar for ad hoc troubleshooting services.

Online Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) System

Our Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) system is linked to the user's SCADA system via the local RTU panel with the fault analysis carried out by the software. Output from the Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) system can be viewed on a dashboard displaying overview condition of a pumpset and the electricity supply.

Faults that can be identified include :-

(a) Mechanical misalignment or unbalance

(b) Bearing problems

(c) Loose foundation/component

(d) Transmission looseness or rubbing

(e) Motor rotor bars

(f) Electrical odd harmonics

(g) Electrical even harmonics

(h) Any other spectrum peak beyond the normal expected values

If you are looking for a competitively priced Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) system for diagnostic and prognostic information of 3-phase electrical motors that drive pumps contact us at sales@vibration.company for an affordable, low maintenance and straightforward to maintain system.

The Wilcoxon 883M Offers 15 Calculated Vibration Metrics in 3-Axis

The new Wilcoxon 883M Industrial Triaxial Accelerometer and Temperature Sensor offers digital output of vibration spectrum, time waveform, and 15 calculated vibration metrics - in 3 axis!

The Wilcoxon 883M offers exceptional flexibility in process monitoring by providing 52 metrics that cover spectrum, FFT, acceleration, velocity, and displacement - across three axes! - plus a temperature measurement.

What am I going to do with all that vibration data?

Most users focus on a smaller subset of this data. The query-response mechanism of Modbus RTU communication protocol allows you to acquire only the data that is relevant to your goals and operations.

• To simplify monitoring and alarming, three frequency bands align with ISO 10816-3 and 20816-3 guidelines for assessing machinery vibration.

• Additional metrics can be selected based on the specific failure modes relevant to the application.

• The selected metrics can be seamlessly transferred over the Modbus protocol to a PLC, DCS, SCADA, HMI, and or local display.

• Process monitoring, trending, and alarm levels can be set to identify increased vibration and temperature levels, notify when levels indicate maintenance actions, and warn of impending machinery failures.

• Spectrum and FFT are available for vibration analysis, fault diagnostics, and robust condition based maintenance.

• Data scientists may be interested in tracking all available metrics.

Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies products include vibration sensors, cabling, instrumentation, and mounting accessories for cost-effective condition monitoring of rotating machinery.
