Why the need of Vibration Monitoring?
Vibration may influence the durability and reliability of machinery systems or structures and cause problems such as damage, abnormal stopping and disaster. Hence the need for Vibration measurement is an important countermeasure to prevent these problem.
To prevent the breakdown and faults in machinery, vibration is measured periodically. This is done by measuring and comparing of the vibration at initial condition or at normal condition after the maintenance, for judging the deterioration of equipment. Vibration measurement is used not only when the problem occurs but also post daily maintenance activity is performed. The production system is kept in operation by detecting the deterioration or possible failure of a part through adverse vibration patterns.
The x,y&z axis indicated the motion of movement in which fashion the machine operates.
Suppose if the Machine is very large in size.
How can one find out the problem? Where the problem is? And, to be more accurate on, which plane of axis the problem is?
Here comes the FFT solution embedded in the IDE Enabler box that solves your problem and provides you with the monitoring of Vibration in X, Y & Z axis. Apart from vibration the sensor provides you with Temperature and noise parameters also. The purpose of vibration monitoring is to reproduce actual vibration measured in the field. The vibration that products are exposed to is not just in one direction but can be in two or even three simultaneous directions of vibration. Multi-axis excitation by 2-axis or 3-axis enables the realization of vibration characteristics which are not found in single axis excitation and to save test time.
