  • Patent number: 11249455
    Abstract: A machine or autonomous system includes a diagnostic controller and is configured to perform a method for monitoring health of a machine. The method includes monitoring a set of first electrical signals indicative of control of a motor of the machine while the machine is operated in a first autonomous mode, determining that an abnormal operating condition has occurred in response to the set of first electrical signals meeting a first criteria, having the machine operate in a test mode in response to the determination that the abnormal operating condition has occurred, monitoring a set of second electrical signals indicative of control of the motor during the test mode, and determining a fault condition in response to the set of second electrical signals meeting a second criteria.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10739754
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a method for monitoring health of a machining tool operable in a machining state to form a workpiece and a non-machining state. The method includes determining whether a machine health routine is to be performed based on a machine health record stored by the control system, and retrieving a non-machining cyclic schedule, in response to the machine health routine having to be performed, where the non-machining cyclic schedule defines a timetable for performing one or more maintenance routines. The method further includes identifying a primary maintenance routine from among the one or more maintenance routines based on the non-machining cyclic schedule, and scheduling the machine health routine with the primary maintenance routine.
