Cover Story: The performance of measurement or manufacturing systems in high-precision applications is dependent upon the dynamics of the system, as vibration can be a significant contributor to measurement uncertainty and process variability. Despite the importance of mechanical performance, current measurement systems implement little or no active condition monitoring, and so it is difficult to verify the performance of the system and monitor structural deterioration over time. While technologies are available that use accelerometers and laser vibrometers to rapidly measure and process structural dynamic data, the software infrastructure is yet to be available in an open source or standardised format to allow inter-platform use. As such, it is vital that new vibration condition monitoring systems be developed which enable the live performance appraisal of a measurement or manufacturing system. View this paper
