Switching position of dual modality coupling module to reduce vibrations in machine

A system, comprising:

• a processor set configured to:
• obtain a vibration level for each of one or more points of interest associated with a machine,
• determine a position of a dual modality coupling module based on the obtained vibration level and a defined vibration threshold, wherein the determined position is one of a mechanical coupling position or a magnetic coupling position;
• generate a first signal to switch the dual modality coupling module from the magnetic coupling position to the mechanical coupling position, wherein the first signal is generated in a case where the obtained vibration level fails to satisfy the defined vibration threshold;
• generate a second signal to switch the dual modality coupling module from the mechanical coupling position to the magnetic coupling position, wherein the second signal is generated in a case where the obtained vibration level satisfies the defined vibration threshold;
• and
• transmit the first signal and the second signal to the dual modality coupling module to switch between the mechanical coupling position and the magnetic coupling position, wherein the switch between the mechanical coupling position and the magnetic coupling position is based on a regulation of a current flow in a first set of magnetic coils and a second set of magnetic coils of the dual modality coupling module.
