Test rig description

The measurements of the test rig (Figure 1) including a universal lathe (CZ6132A), an On Rotor Sensor (ORS) for triaxial acceleration signal, a microphone for acoustic signal, an accelerometer for vibration signal, a current transducer for AC motor electricity, an infrared camera for heat distribution on turning process. In addition to ORS, these data are acquired with a 24-bit, 4-channel, synchronous Data Acquisition (DAQ) system at a sampling rate of 3200Hz.

Instrumentation

The lathe transmission system as shown in Figure 2, is driven by three-phase AC asynchronous motor and is driven to the headstock by a pulley. When the clutch is combined, the spindle is driven by gears in gearbox. Machine processing and device status can be monitored by one or more sensors.
