Abstract: A system and method for detecting abnormal operating conditions in a machine through the analysis and comparison of radar areas after the transformation of waveform data collected from machine parts. The system and method may detect abnormal operating conditions at times when the machine under evaluation remains fully operational in its intended working environment. The system and method may identify abnormal machine function at a point in the machine wear cycle when an abnormal function is not apparent to a human observer.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting abnormal operating conditions in a machine using vibration data. An example aspect is configured to: identify at least one operating state of the machine; collect baseline vibration data to determine a baseline vibrational condition of each operating state; collect vibration data of the machine; segregate the vibration data according to each operating state of the machine; analyze the segregated vibration data; and determine when the segregated vibration data has changed from the baseline vibration data by a threshold amount for each operating state.
