  • Patent number: 11579123
    Abstract: A rotating machine abnormality detection device of an embodiment includes a non-contact acoustic emission sensor, an analyzer, and a diagnoser. The non-contact acoustic emission sensor, arranged at a position spaced away by a predetermined distance from a measurement target acting as a rotating member or a measurement target rotatably supporting the rotating member, is configured to detect acoustic emission that occurs during rotation of the measurement target or the rotating member supported by the measurement target and propagates in an atmosphere. The analyzer is configured to perform time-frequency analysis on a detection signal of the non-contact acoustic emission sensor. The diagnoser is configured to detect occurrence of a rotation abnormality when a frequency component equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value is present in a predetermined frequency band, based on an analysis result of the analyzer.

  • Patent number: 11499819
    Abstract: A shape measurement method includes: acquiring first data of a change of a distance between a first probe and a calibration measurement object and acquiring second data of a change of a distance between a second probe and the calibration measurement object while moving the calibration measurement object in a first direction, the calibration measurement object being rotationally symmetric around an axis parallel to the first direction, the first probe and the second probe being arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; estimating an error of the movement included in the first data based on the first and second data; acquiring third data of a change of a distance between the first probe and a measurement object while moving the measurement object relative to the first probe in the first direction; and correcting the third data by using the error.
