1.Identifying Fault-State Vibration Signatures
Condition Monitoring · 2026
A CNC process engineer utilized this dashboard to identify fault-state vibration signatures that were invisible to standard peak-amplitude thresholds, a critical function of manufacturing process tracking software. The interface displays box-and-strip plots comparing healthy runs, which cluster tightly around an X-axis Kurtosis of 6.19, against faulty runs that drop to a mean of 2.87 with massive spread. By extracting features like the Z-axis RMS, which showed a 92.08x spread ratio between faulty and healthy cuts, the engineer successfully transitioned to reliable, variance-based condition monitoring.
What it shows:
Extracting variance features enables the detection of process degradation missed by coarse amplitude limits.
