CF-4700 FFT Comparator


The CF-4700 FFT comparator is a pass/fail judgment machine used on production lines that is highly effective in accurate quality inspection by analyzing sound or vibration from products. As being incorporated our accumulated FFT technology over the years, the CF-4700 enables pass/fail judgment by extracting the amount of fluctuation of signal size focusing on a specific frequency band.


The CF-4700 comparator has newly adopted the Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function, besides inheriting the frequency level- or waveform shape-based judgment functions from the existing CF-4500 FFT model. The new function enables judgment on the basis of the amount of periodical fluctuation of extracted sounds or vibrations. This function is effective for making judgments on fuzzy creaks or chattering sound by a motor-driven device in operation. Moreover, two functions which are included in the Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function enable measurements such as 'monitoring of bearing vibrations' (by using the band pass filter and envelope functions), as well as 'auditory inspections of vibrations through headphones' (by using the monitor function which amplifies inaudible vibrations to audible sounds).

For users getting started on pass/fail judgment by frequency spectrum

The CF-4700 comparator comes with a new assist function that enables users to set a judgment range by a simple operation.
This assist function reads differences in levels of sounds or vibrations from passed and failed measurement data files respectively, which makes it easier to set a judgment range, even when conducting a pass/fail judgment by frequency spectrum for the first time.

Functions

1. Block Comparator (Judging by frequency level)

Illust(block comparator)

The Block Comparator Function makes pass/fail judgments using a block area which is set in a certain frequency and level range. The judgment is made in terms of whether a peak value or level of a target signal coincides with the conditions which are set in advance or not. 6 kinds of judgment methods (level, peak level, peak max, inside max, partial overall, areal content rate) are available for each block. The judgment block can be determined by drag operation at a touch of a screen or by directly entering a numeric value on a list screen.

2. Shape Comparator (Judging by shape of waveform)

illust(Shape Comparator)

The Shape Comparator Function makes pass/fail judgments by waveform shape. By setting a judgment line, this function enables pass/fail judgments on subtle variations in a time waveform or on differences in spectral shapes. In order to avoid misjudgment due to instantaneous noises in a time waveform, if the number of data exceeding the judgment level is equal to or smaller than a set value, they are assumed to be noises and can be excluded from the target data for the judgment

3. Shape Comparator of tracking waveform (Judging by shape of waveform)

illust(Tracking Function)

For sound or vibration measures of rotating equipments, it is important to measure or analyze which rotational speeds increase sound or vibration and which parts of rotating machine cause sound or vibration. The CF-4700 FFT Comparator can follow up a change of rotational speed and extract a component of sound or vibration which is based on rotation, and then make pass/fail judgments by its level or changing situation.

4. Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function
(Judging by the amount of fluctuation of signal size in a specific frequency band)


 

Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function

The Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function is a preprocessing function to extract the amount of fluctuation of signal size in a specific frequency band. This function is effective for making judgments on abnormal sound or vibration stemming from fluctuations in signal size, and can be used as a preprocessing function for making pass/fail judgments on fuzzy creaks or chattering by a motor-driven device in operation. Also enables measurements such as 'monitoring of bearing vibrations' using the bandpass filter and envelope functions, and 'auditory inspections of vibrations through headphones' using the monitor function which amplifies inaudible vibrations to audible sounds.

5. Power Source Backup Function (Effective countermeasure against accidental power failure)

Power Source Backup Function

At the production site, an instantaneous power failure or sudden large drop in the voltage of the production line's main power could occur accidentally. The Power Source Backup Function deactivates the CF-4700 in a normal manner in the event of a main power down of the production line. There is no need to prepare an uninterruptible power supply separately. Moreover, presetting of startup conditions helps a smooth restart at the time of power restoration. This function also allows for centralized power control of the production line. In other words, the CF-4700 can be turned on or off by mere operation of the control panel of the production line's main power.

Application Examples

Unusual noise evaluation of door mirror operation
Irregularity in the rotation of a door mirror drive motor while it is opened or closed may generate unusual fuzzy noises having periodic fluctuation components. These noises can be detected by the amount of periodic fluctuation extracted by the Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function from the door mirror motion sound measured with the MI-1235 1/2-inch Measurement Microphone and the MI-3111 Microphone Preamplifier. Using the Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function it may be possible to make judgments on sounds that cannot be judged simply by the sound level.

Abnormal vibration diagnosis of bearings

Damage of bearings causes abnormal vibrations. The CF-4700 performs diagnosis of bearings by inputted signal from an accelerometer attached on the rolling bearing. A basic frequency analysis according to a damaged part can be performed by optional band pass filter and envelope function (included in the CF-0473 Amplitude Modulation Component Extraction Function), which filters a frequency band in vibration caused from a damaged bearing. The amplitude in a frequency band tells the timing of bearing maintenance. Also the filter can be set while listening to the sounds from bearing through headphones.

Inspection of transmission noise by tracking analysis
The CF-4700 can perform quality control of transmission by tracking analysis of vibration signal from a transmission. In this example, the CF-4700 performs tracking analysis with rotational pulses from a rotation controller in a transmission tester. Rotational tracking analysis of meshing order is performed using measured vibration by the NP-3000 Series Accelerometer with Built-in Preamplifier in terms of varying rotational speed from idling to the maximum. Pass/fail judgment of the transmission is made by setting a judgment line along the tracking data.

Inspection of a metal part by hammering sound
The frequency spectrum of a hammering sound is affected by cracks or fractures of a metal part (e.g. a casting part). In this example, the metal part is suspended in free vibration for hammer exciting, and an inspection is made from the hammering sound. The hammering sound is measured by the LA-4440 Integrating Sound Level Meter. Then via AC output, inputted to the CF-4700 which performs a frequency analysis to find the difference in power spectrum shape between OK and NG products. The CF-4700 makes judgments using the Shape Comparator Function with the difference.

Inspection of abnormal sound generated from a power supply board
Sometimes power frequency sound and high frequency sound are generated from electronic parts on a power supply board. In this example, abnormal sound coming from a power board is measured by the MI-1235 1/2-inch Measurement Microphone and the MI-3111 Microphone Preamplifier in an anechoic box to avoid influence of background noise. Then the signal is inputted to the CF-4700 for frequency analysis. The CF-4700 makes pass/fail judgment with areal content rate in power spectrum by setting up of a judgment block around the power frequency caused the abnormal sound.

Function used : Block Comparator Function

Inspection of a wire harness device for automobile
A wire harness device inside a sliding door of automobile sometimes makes abnormal sound while the door is in motion. The wire winding sound can be used for inspection. Drive a motor of wire harness device in a sound insulating box and the LA-1410 Integrating Sound Level Meter measures the sound from the device. Then the CF-4700 performs frequency analysis of the AC output signal from the Sound Level Meter to make pass/fail judgment of the partial overall level in a specific frequency band.

Imbalance inspection of a turbofan
When a turbo fan has imbalance, the signal from a vibration sensor attached on it increases. Therefore, it is effective for imbalance inspection to measure vibrations of the rotating turbofan. By using signals from the NP-3000 Series Accelerometer with Built-in Preamplifier, you can define the target frequency band and the judgment level, then set judgment blocks to the CF-4700 FFT comparator. In this case, the "peak max" is selected as the judgment method. If the maximum value of the waveform exists in the specified block area, it means OK. If not exists, it means NG.
