Enhancing Vibration Analysis in Hydraulic Presses: A Case Study Evaluation

Abstract

Vibration monitoring is essential for maintaining the optimal performance and reliability of industrial machinery, which experiences dynamic forces and vibrations during operation. This study delved into a comprehensive analysis of vibration monitoring in hydraulic presses, utilizing advanced measurement systems equipped with accelerometers. The proposed system included a three-axis accelerometer, data acquisition unit, and dedicated measurement software, facilitating the precise monitoring and analysis of vibrations. The influence of the sensor placement and sampling frequency on the measurement results was examined. A time and frequency analysis of the recorded measurements was performed. The results demonstrated the correlation between vibration levels and various production parameters, such as the number of parts simultaneously produced and press pressure. These findings underscore the potential for vibration measurement as a pivotal component in controlling production parameter settings.
