Vibration Monitoring for Robot Health
What to monitor
| Location | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| Gearbox | Wear, lubrication breakdown and backlash |
| Axis structure | Looseness and abnormal motion |
| Spindle or tool | Tooling wear and imbalance |
| Cabinet fans | Cooling degradation |
How to use the data
- Record a baseline when the machine is new or after overhaul.
- Watch the trend, not a single reading.
- Correlate changes with process changes, not only with time.
Vibration interpretation needs expertise. Use a specialist service where the asset is critical.
