System and method for vibration analysis

A system for abnormality diagnosis of a mechanical device having one or more moving components, comprising:

• one or more sensor devices, operatively associated with the mechanical device, for detecting motion of the one or more components during operation of the mechanical device;
• a computer control system coupled to the one or more sensors, including:
• a database having memory;
• and
• a processor disposed in communication with said memory, and configured to issue a plurality of instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
• determine vibration measurement of the one or more components based on the detected motion of the one or more components;
• determine abnormal operation of the one or more components utilizing one or more Machine Learning (ML) techniques by comparing the determined vibration measurement of a said component against that component's expected normal vibration measurement during operation of the mechanical device such that abnormal operation is determined when the determined vibration measurement of a said component exceeds its expected normal vibration measurement by a threshold value;
• and
• providing notification of abnormal operation of the one or more components when one or more of the components is determined to have abnormal operation.

A method for abnormality diagnosis of a mechanical device having one or more moving components, comprising:

• receiving, in a computer control system, from one or more optical sensor devices, motion of the one or more components during operation of the mechanical device, whereby each optical sensor device detects motion upon multiple spatial points on the mechanical device;
• determining, by the computer control system coupled to the one or more optical sensor devices, vibration measurement of the one or more components based on the detected motion of the one or more components, wherein one or more Machine Learning (ML) techniques utilizing machine context data and process context data relating to operation of the mechanical device;
• and
• determining, by the control system utilizing the ML techniques, abnormal operation of the one or more components by comparing a determined vibration measurement of a said component against that component's expected normal vibration measurement during operation of the mechanical device such that abnormal operation is determined when the determined vibration measurement of a said component exceeds its expected normal vibration measurement by a threshold value.
