Designing Hand-Held Vibration Measuring Device for Industrial Machines

Abstract

Evaluating the quality of industrial machines, the vibration meter is used to measure the machine’s actual vibration. The two most important parameters describing machine vibration, amplitude, and frequency, are the key factors for determining the cause of vibrations. Spectral analysis of the vibration signal will give information about the vibration level and choose which part of the machine leads to the observed vibration signal. This paper presents a self-made machine vibration measuring device with a simple structure, compact size, high accuracy at a reasonable price. The device can display the measured vibration signals’ real-time value and analyze the computer’s spectral to produce the required parameters.
