State Monitoring of Lathes Based on Load Current Signal
According to the characteristics of machine tools such as complex driving chain ,weak signal and enclosed housing,this paper takes horizontal lathes as study objects and selects current signal which is easy to sample as the analytical signal.We collect motor load current signals of idling, cylindrical cutting and end cutting processing state in the experiment to process the condition monitoring based on wavelet denoising and wavelet packet transform. We take advantage of the threshold denoising method to reduce noise of load current signal.Then we use time-frequency analysis methods of wavelet packet transform to extract state characteristic quantity and outstand useful information.So in this paper we monitor the working state of lathes based on the unique advantages of wavelet denoising and wavelet packet transform, and this method can be widely used in various fields of state monitoring.
