| Summary: | This article presents an automated vibration
monitoring system for a lathe machine. This study was
motivated by the fact that machine production time was
wasted during planned maintenance when, most times, the
machines did not require any maintenance at all. Also, the
periodic intervals used did not depict the correct ageing of the
machine components which resulted in unexpected failure of
the machine. Planned maintenance schedules are done with the
assumption that the machine is going to breakdown after a
certain period of time. The aim of this research was to come up
with a vibration monitoring system for a lathe machine, which
included incorporating an electronic circuit in the system, use
of liquid crystal display for improved user interface and use of
vibration sensors to determine the vibration level of the
machine. Experimental research design was used to determine
the acceptable ranges of vibration amplitudes in order to
classify the amplitude into 4 groups namely: extremely rough,
rough, acceptable and smooth. The designed system produced
consistent vibration amplitudes for both machining and non-
machining operation. The system used different indicators
linked to the main processor of the circuit which monitors the
machine real-time performance. It was capable of alerting the
user when the vibration amplitude was out of range and also to
switch off the machine when the vibration threshold was
exceeded. The vibration monitoring system helps in damage
control and enables preventive measures to be taken before
damage occurs. |
