Because it decreases downtime, increases production effectiveness, aids in cost prediction, spare parts supply, maintenance needs and timing, as well as more precise production forecasting, condition monitoring is crucial for lean manufacturing facilities.
Machine Condition Monitoring has many advantages. Increasing equipment longevity is one of the main benefits of condition monitoring. Before a downtime event or long-term, expensive damage takes place, underlying problems can be identified and fixed if a certain metric consistently deviates from predicted ranges, especially when such deviations are caused by circumstances that could seriously damage a machine or its components. Condition monitoring can be thought of as a more advanced kind of machine monitoring that uses useful machine data to benefit from the sweet spot between proactive maintenance and reactive maintenance.Vibration analysis is a useful machine condition monitoring for identifying and predicting failures in mechanical equipment. It can help prevent unplanned downtime and reduce unplanned repair costs. Various sensors can be used to measure vibration. These include accelerometers, velocity transducers, displacement sensors, and proximity probes. The data can be analyzed by trained personnel or can be captured and stored in a digital format by a qualified engineer. As a component of machine condition monitoring, vibration analysis can be used to identify faults before they lead to catastrophic failure. For instance, a damaged bearing can cause excessive vibration in a machine that uses a rotating shaft. This can lead to wear and tear, which can wreak havoc on the machine.
One method for machine condition monitoring is phase measurement. This technique identifies the location of a sleeve-bearing journal's synchronous peaks. The peak amplitude indicates the magnitude of the vibration. Combined with an FFT chart, this process can pinpoint the root cause of a defect. Another way of measuring vibration is using a waveform. This is a signal that can be seen on an oscilloscope. It includes information about the machine being measured at the time of the measurement. It contains details about the speed, distance, and amplitude of the oscillation.
