The linear feed axes are critical subsystems in many production machines and have important responsibilities such as transporting workpieces and tools in the process. Therefore, the component's working condition is crucial for the production of high-quality products. Because these systems gradually deteriorate, it is necessary to detect these changes and occurring faults with condition monitoring systems. In this study, the motor current of feed axes is monitored for axis misalignment that occurs during or after assembly. We conduct diagnosis with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and statistical methods in order to differentiate different misalignment scenarios and operating constraints of the feed axis. Different states are achieved by simulating left and right axis misalignment and operating the table at different speeds and strokes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
