Case of Application
Smart Vibration Diagnosis and Monitoring System
Machine tool
Monitoring for tool processing abnormality of machine tools
In machine tool processing, unexpected issues often occur, such as collision of the workpiece with the machine or the tool and abnormal tool wear, which, if not discovered in time during automatic feed-in and feed-out, can lead to serious problems such as excessive defective products.
Our: "Smart Vibration Diagnosis and Monitoring Solution", with the smart vibration sensor to go with the Edge AI host, allows users to have pre-recorded vibration values from different processing orders as the comparison basis by automatically setting the vibration threshold value, detecting the vibration value during the process, and sending out the alarm upon abnormal vibration. Meanwhile, the machine tool can be made to stop automatically through connection signal control to avoid a continuation of abnormal processing and to avoid continued production of defective items.
Customer demand:
-
Very limited space for setting up the sensor
-
Precise measurement of vibration values and capability of resisting interference from environmental vibration statics
-
Harsh working conditions (high temperature, high humidity, continuous operation over an extended period of time)
-
Rapid real-time response is required to minimize losses from abnormal vibration
-
Recording of historical vibration data required to be the processing comparison basis
-
Easy-to-learn and easy-to-operate user interface
-
High CP ratio to create value for the machine tool
Key issues:
-
Commercial vibration sensors too big and involve great errors
-
Sensor, host, and software from different companies to make integration and troubleshooting difficult
-
