The system monitors the three-directional (X, Y, Z) vibration signals near the turret and at the rear beam inside the machine device during the machining process. The frequency is set to 512 Hz, and the distance between the acquisition terminal and the receiver is about 2 m. The data acquisition is continuous and complete without any data loss, and the real-time display is exceptionally smooth, which fully demonstrates the operational effectiveness of both this product and its accompanying software. Furthermore, distinct vibration signals are generated during the cutting process. Based on the signal fluctuation patterns and amplitude values, users can preliminarily diagnose anomalies in the machining process. Within the host computer software, users can also add an FFT view to observe the frequency-domain information of the signals in real-time during machining, which effectively assists in evaluating the machining status.

Additionally, test data obtained from identical locations on a Jiecheng machine tool and a MAZAK machine tool revealed that the amplitude of the three-directional vibration signals on the MAZAK machine was only one-third of that on the Jiecheng machine, demonstrating the superior structural rigidity of the MAZAK machine tool. By extension, the data acquired by the iKIT-Cube series not only helps users to comprehensively monitor machine tool vibration information but can also serve as an evaluation benchmark to assess the ex-factory structural rigidity of machine device.
