Analysis of the possibility of mechanical devices supervision based on the measurement of the vibration level and SVM classifiers

This paper presents the concept of diagnosing the technical condition of mechanical devices. The test is based on a non-invasive vibration analysis technique combined with the use of artificial intelligence method. The object of the research is an electric motor for which vibrations were recorded by a vibration sensor based on four 3-axis digital accelerometers and MPU-6050 gyroscopes. The effectiveness of classification methods using the two-class and one-class classification was compared. It has been shown that the use of an incomplete pattern of the vibration model and a single-class classifier allows for effective detection of anomalies in the operation of an induction motor. Satisfactory classification efficiency was achieved, despite the limitation of the teaching set only to the information obtained during the correct operation of the device. The described method is universal and can be used to diagnose the technical condition of many different types of technical devices.
