Evaluation of Video Signals for Coupling Fault Detection Using the Mirror Technique

This study presents the evaluation of video signals for coupling fault detection using the mirror technique. The characterization of the mirror technique in video signal processing is key to establish the methodologies proposed in this study; the first one deals with the acquisition and processing of signals and the second one allows to evaluate the video signal technique regarding to the traditional technique which is the vibration monitoring through of contact sensors. The results obtained allow to consider that the mirror technique within the condition monitoring, with the appropriate methodology allows the reproducibility of data acquisition and processing, to issue a diagnosis of the machine condition and avoid unscheduled stops in the plant production.
