In this article, we will be looking at what the common faults that can be detected with vibration analysis. To begin with, it should be important to understand what vibration analysis is, the applications it is used in as well as to understand what faults can be detected. 

Vibration analysis is a process which monitors the vibration levels and identifies trends or patterns in vibration signals. The waveforms are directly in sync with the vibration signal directly, specifically on the frequency spectrum. 

The main source of identifying the common faults is through a Vibration Monitoring System which has predetermined parameters related to vibration level, recording intervals and frequency bandwidths. 

Advantages associated with vibration analysis is Real-time reaction of structural conditions, supports remote condition monitoring as well as establishing signal analysis and algorithms for predictive maintenance. 

When any abnormalities are evident, parameters such as standard deviation, skewness and other factors are identified. The applications in which vibration analysis is used are for rotating machinery that incorporates rotating components that decomposes waveforms and vibration patterns; in addition, the vibration can occur in different forms such as displacement, velocity and acceleration. 

The vibration components are also directly correlated to meshing gear-teeth, rolling bearing elements, rotating electrical fields, fluid flows, combustion events and other structural rotations.

CNC Turning

Brooklyn Engineering is at the forefront of adhering to industry standards through an impeccable model of a well-documented Quality Management System. Brooklyn Engineering implements the quality standards across all levels of the products and service offering. 

In this article, we will be looking at the CNC turning process in detail as well as the specific applications in which the CNC process is used. To begin with, the acronym “CNC” is Computer Numerical Control technology. This technology offers enhanced precision and automation to streamline manual processes and tasks. 

 CNC is predominantly utilised in manufacturing contexts where bars of material are held and rotated while the tool is fed to the specific piece to produce a desired shape. Production capabilities and industries related include Drilling, Boring, Facing, Grooving, Knurling as well as Parting. The illustrative industries are specific to Woodworking, the Electrical and Automotive industries and Material Fabrication contexts. 

The components of CNC machines include a central processing unit, otherwise known as a Central Processing Unit, Input devices, Machine control  panels, Programmable logic controllers, Servo-control units as well as an integrated Display Unit. 

It should be important to note that the CNC tuning centre could potentially have a main and sub-spindle to ensure faster operation. This type of configuration is an ideal automated process for larger production runs. 

There are a multitude of advantages associated with utilising the CNC machine such as increasing the production volume and improving the flexibility in manufacturing capabilities.
