Systems and Methods for Remote Monitoring of Vibrations in Machines

摘要

A system and method for monitoring the vibrations of a machine that includes a reflective patch affixed to the machine and a vibration detection unit including an optics module. The optics module may be positioned remotely from the machine such that the optics module transmits an electromagnetic beam to the reflective patch and reflected from the reflective patch to the optics module. The optics module demodulates the electromagnetic beam to determine the vibration of the machine.
