Abstract

This paper proposes a modern approach for acquiring and analyzing vibration signals and to estimate the energy loss effectively during vibrations. The vibration signals acquired from the heavy machines with the help of vibration accelerometer will be transferred to a computer through a Data acquisition card and analysis is being carried out by using LabVIEW. Frequency domain analysis is used to study the nature of the vibrations and to estimate the energy loss during vibration. Comparative study is made with conventional vibration analyzers for performance validation of virtual systems. The performances of identical machines can be compared and steps can be taken to improve the performance of less efficient ones. Web publishing feature has been used to create a centralized virtual instrumentation server to acquire the signals from the sensor through a remote terminal in real time via networking to analyze and evolve recommendations over the network. The testing panel can be easily implemented in any location and if required, can be controlled via Internet or LAN.
