Switch condition monitoring system in rail industry
The condition monitoring system of switch machines, by using the input current signals of the electric motor, is able to detect and identify various failures of the switch machine set.
This product is currently used to monitor the condition of switch machines in rail industry.
In addition to the ability to detect whether the system is healthy or faulty, this system has the ability to identify the following types of failures and their locations:
- Electric motor failures
- Failure of device clutches
Ball screw system failure- Failure in the gearbox
- Slide page failure
- Failure of machine bearings
The switch machine failure detection system uses classic methods in signal processing, along with artificial intelligence techniques, to detect system faults.
Using the input current of the electric motor is one of the main advantages of the system, which greatly reduces installation costs due to the elimination of cabling to the switch location.
